The Unionville Tavern Preservation Society, with the assistance of State Senator John Eklund, has been awarded $160,000 of state funding thru the Cultural Facilities grant program. An additional $80,000 in required matching monies has also been secured via generous private donations. These funds will support Phase 1 of our effort to restore the Tavern. This initial step will provide a new roof... a restored porch... and a functionally restored Veranda Room. The work will begin this Fall with a completion goal of a few months.
This marks the first major restoration of the Tavern in 100 years! We appreciate the support of our members.... volunteers.... project partners.... and corporate sponsors.

Documenting the Project
We are very please to have the talented photojournalist, Johnny Joo, along for this journey of Historic Preservation. Johnny will be documenting the Tavern, and our efforts, throughout the project. He visited the Tavern early this year to get the before photos of the interior of the building. He has included some of those photographs along with a write-up about the Tavern on his website, www.ArchitecturalAfterlife.com. Stay tuned to for the continued story!
