Window Restoration Workshop: June 7, 10am-5pm

$60 HMM members, $75 non-members

Our 2025 series of workshops kicks off on June 7 with an opportunity to learn about restoring historic windows. Local expert, Kurt Riegel of Riegel Restoration and Consulting, will be leading this workshop. Some of the skills he will be teaching are how to remove and reinstall windows, scraping, painting, putty work and glass replacement. If you would like to learn more about this and get some hands-on experience, we encourage you to join us.

Registration is now open for HMM members. If spaces are still available, non-members can register starting on May 16. Not a member yet? You can join now!
