Upcoming Green Classes

Howard Hall Farm is both an historic restoration project and a vehicle for educating people in sustainable, environmentally conscious restoration techniques.  The site of  our learning laboratory is a 1780s stone manor in the heart of the Hudson River Valley.  This Federal style home presents a number of restoration challenges specific to this region of the country. We invite you to join us in our effort to RESTORE GREEN.

Please note: * We reserve the right to cancel any class or workshop if necessary, and fully refund each applicant's workshop fee.
