historic house
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.

Descendants at our Door! And I don't mean the stairs.

We have just been contacted by a descendant of William Brandow and Joseph Groom (born in 1748, before the Declaration of Independence!), previous occupants of this very house!. She and her grandmother (also a descendant) are going to come visit us, and let us interview them. Hopefully, they will be able to help us fill in some of the gaps in the history of this place. I'll put everything up once I have their permission in early July.
