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.
