Sandwich Historical Society

The Sandwich Historical Society will conserve five objects from its collection and curate a subsequent exhibition and associated programming to highlight these conservation efforts. Informed by a previous Collections Assessment for Preservation (CAP) report, staff and volunteers will work with conservators to preserve 3 paintings by artist Enoch W. Perry, an historical paper passport document belonging to Albert Gallatin Hoit, and a Federal-style wooden desk from the early 1800s. The objects will then be highlighted in a conservation-focused exhibition, alongside other previously conserved artifacts and will also include a public lecture series about conservation concepts.
