Visit the Chapman-Hall House during Damariscotta’s annual Pumpkinfest weekend to learn about the historic craft of coopering! Jeffery Miller will be on site both days to demonstrate how a cooper would shape and secure wood to create vessels of all sizes that would carry and store a variety of items – including liquids.
LCHA works hard to meet the ongoing challenge of preserving each of the historic treasures in our care. It is the buildings themselves that require the lion's share of the funds we obtain through our annual appeal, memberships, bequests, grant applications and special appeals. Please help us preserve these extraordinary buildings for future generations.
