Restoration of the House has started. The white cedar logs have been stabilized and re-chinked inside and out. Reproductions of the original windows have been constructed and installed on the main floor. A local carpenter continues with exterior door repairs, window installation on the upper floor and restoration of the gable ends. SSJI is grateful to all the donors and organizations whose generosity has allowed restoration to begin.
The restored House will offer a gathering place for school groups, community members, and environmentalists to learn about the South Shore’s amazing biodiversity and unique history. It will be a place of stories – of historical use of the land, of sailing schooners crossing Lake Ontario, of Whip-poor-wills in the woods and of Blanding’s Turtles in the swamps. It will be an inclusive and welcoming place for everyone.
SSJI encourages everyone to vote for the Hudgin House online in the Next Great Save competition starting on January 20 at 2 pm. You can vote every day until February 22 at 2 pm.
