We had a great turnout today for our April meeting, a BIG thank you to Richard Blenko who was our guest speaker this month. Richard shared the history of Blenko Glass Company, which was very interesting.
Ellen had information and pictures on display from the St. Albans bottle works for the group to enjoy as well.
Our next meeting will be our annual picnic on Sunday, June 14th at 2pm.
All are welcome!

We kicked off our preservation work at Morgan’s Kitchen this week with the placement of a new log on the back side of the structure. The previous log had deteriorated significantly, and this new log will help to keep the building structurally sound for years to come.
The new log will have chinking added in the next week or so to close the gap between it and the one directly above.
We are excited to see this project off to a great start!
