What IWF Was Up To During the Covid Closure

During the months of Covid restrictions while our historic properties were closed due to Covid restrictions we have been very industrious!

A major project was the continued restoration of windows at Jones Tavern and the Faulkner Homestead, thanks to support from generous IWF donors, the Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund, and the Acton Community Preservation Fund we restored over seventy windows in both buildings.
Additionally we:

• Produced a video [link to watch] with archaeologist Kimberley Connors on the history of South Acton's 'Mill Corner'.
• Renovated and leased the tenant's apartment at Faulkner Homestead
• Created a new office in the Faulker ell - and brought IWF properties into the internet age
• Focused on site improvements - enhanced parking, and the restoration of the 1890's "avenue of trees" on the Faulkner grounds
• In January '21 we hosted the Chamber Theatre Productions' filming of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow at the Faulkner House - see photos and view the trailer!.

In fall 2021 we plan to invite you all back to events at our properties - watch this space for updates on upcoming events.

Thank you to all our supporters and grantors for your continued support!
