The Zechariah Boodey Farmstead Project is a historic preservation initiative that began with a colonial cape-style house built in 1769. This House and Barn, once reassembled, are not just buildings but living testaments to our past. They are associated with the lives of persons and events that are not only significant in our community but also in our nation's past. They embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, and method of construction that represent a significant and distinguishable entity, a part of our shared heritage that we can all be proud of.
With 2,980 square feet of meeting space on a three-acre parcel of land, the venue would provide a location to host a myriad of educational programming. These could include demonstrations, workshops, forums, discussions, round-table sessions, and programs for cross-generational mentoring, networking, and knowledge-building. We envision historical and cultural programs and civic, social, or private events and activities, accommodating 130 individuals. This is not just a preservation project but a vibrant hub for community engagement and learning, a beacon of hope for the future.
The Zechariah Boodey Farmstead Collaborative’s mission is to raise funds to support the assembly, repurposing, and use of the historic Zechariah Boodey Farmstead by connecting our local communities and providing a vibrant social, cultural, historical, and economic centerpiece.
