We are in need of some major repairs here at the Historical District and need some help. Our soffits need some major repairs. They were repaired a few years ago, but the birds have different ideas on how long a soffit should last. But anyway, we are looking for some help in getting our facility repaired and looking nice again. We also need someone to help our volunteers in doing some tar patch work on the gym roof. There are a couple of spots that need to be patched up. We also need repairs done on the southeast end of the facility on that section of roof. Our volunteers are doing their best to keep up with things, but our volunteers are few and far between so we need some help.

If you are a licensed, reliable individual or contractor that can help us out, message us or contact our Public Information Officer Volunteer, Cindy at 618-218-8325. Thank you in advance for your help, we appreciate you and your support.

Wanted to share our beautiful Hollyhocks that are in full bloom here at the Historical District. These are a little harder to see, as they are on the West side of the facility by the back entrance door. The yellow colored ones have some pink veining in them. They are gorgeous. These plants are taller as they like the heat that comes off the building and thrive in their environment. We are so happy to be getting some of our Hollyhocks back.

If you're interested in purchasing a pound or two, call or text Cindy at 618.218.8325 or Greg at 618.218.3613. Thank you.
