A House Restored, The Tragedies and Triumphs of Saving a New England Colonial
The Historic Homes Show will feature programming aimed at the owners of historic homes with exhibits and presentations by experts in the field including contractors, architects, and designers. Specialists include stonework craftsmen, window restorationists, certified restoration architect, and garden designer who will share their know how and experiences on working on local historic properties.
The keynote speaker for the weekend will be Lee McColgan, author of A House Restored, The Tragedies and Triumphs of Saving a New England Colonial at 1:00 pm on Sunday, October 20. Mr. McColgan has worked on Boston’s Old North Church, Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House, and other buildings. His work has appeared in Architectural Digest, Boston Globe, and the Wall Street Journal. He can be found on Instagram at helvehistorictrades.
Sunday will also feature a “roundtable” of young historic homeowners who will share their experiences of loving and living in an antique house. The panel will be led by Higganum’s own Rebecca Lineberry who has been featured in the New York Times and has her own radio program “If These Walls Could Talk” on ICRV radio. Rebecca has recently worked on a colonial period house in Mystic which was filmed for Magnolia Network’s “In With the Old”.
