Sperry Chalet Winter Preservation Action Plan is Fully Funded!

Thanks to your generosity, we are pleased to announce that the initial request for the Sperry Action Fund has been fully funded.

In the weeks since this fund was announced, a structural assessment of the burned dormitory building was completed, all materials were purchased for winter stabilization, and those materials and a crew have been transported to the site to complete the work before the onset of winter weather.

The crew will stabilize the walls, sandwich the gables with plywood and surround the chimneys with collars of wood, protecting the stone structures from wind and snow loads.

As we look into the coming year, we anticipate additional requests from the park as site restoration continues and, thanks to you we’ll be ready to answer the call. We will keep you up to date as we have additional information. Thank you again for your support. This urgent work would not have been possible without your generosity.

Sincerely,

Doug Mitchell

Executive Director
