Resuming Restoration: Welcome Back to Progress!
After a brief hiatus, we at Friends of Swansonville are thrilled to announce the resumption of restoration efforts on Port Ludlow’s last historic landmark. This cherished church building, soon to transform into a vibrant community center and historic site, is ready for a significant makeover.
Exciting Developments Ahead
Thanks to the dedication and support of local community members, we are moving forward with our National Parks Service Third Places Fund Projects. Our focus will initially be on replacing the roof of the main building and starting the much-needed restoration of the bell tower to prevent further water intrusion. We promise to keep you updated with plenty of photos as the work progresses!
Join Us in Making History
This endeavor is made possible by a generous grant, but there is more to be done. We are on the lookout for a volunteer passionate about historic preservation who can assist us in finding and preparing grant submissions. Securing additional funding is crucial for bringing this restoration project to completion.
