Repairs Made At The Mansion Museum

The Mansion Museum at Old Fort Harrod has received some much needed repairs recently thanks to very kind donations from both the James Harrod Trust and the Friends of Fort Harrod. JHT paid Lanham & Sons roofing to repair some flashing troubles on the roof as well as Julius Schnurr & Sons to repair the plaster in several locations, including one ceiling that had completely fallen. Friends of Fort Harrod then donated funds to purchase paint and hire a professional painter to finish the project.  Officials from both the Kentucky Heritage Council and Parks Facilities Management gave assistance and input on the project. “The James Harrod Trust appreciates the importance of the Mansion Museum's heritage to local and state history. It is our mission and goal to make sure these treasures are not lost, as well as kept in good repair. It is a beautiful house with extraordinary woodwork,” said Helen Dedman, with the James Harrod Trust; David Coleman added, “ This project is a great example of several different organizations all coming together to accomplish a common goal."
