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. |

We're currently exploring the possibility of using solar energy in conjunction with our historic restoration to make the house as green as possible. In the process of all this research, we weren't able to find a site that had all the information we were looking for. So, as we go through the process of learning everything we need to know to make the best possible decision, we are compiling a database with all the relevant information. The goal here is to make the whole process easier for others to encourage people to go green.
