Winslow House membership in the past year, now is the time to do so. The Winslow
House depends upon its members to help sustain it as a source for historic education
and community involvement. Join Today
While
restoration work on the historic house continues into 2008, the Winslow House
will also begin to upgrade its kitchen facilities. New bathrooms, new pipes,
and new amenities in the kitchen itself will make for an improved catering and
function facility. This should allow for an improved experience for visitors,
patrons and volunteers alike. It also should help entice more functions to the
location. The back kitchen work will commence in March and should be ready in
time for the House’s opening in mid-May.
