Troy Historic Village Offers Window Restoration Workshop

On August 24 and 25, the Troy Historic Village will host an outstanding, hands-on way to learn how to repair, restore and maintain wooden windows while participating in an actual restoration project in the historic Niles-Barnard House. The two-day class runs from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. both days.

Jim Turner, a member of the Michigan Historic Preservation Network and a professional window restorer, will lead a two-day workshop that includes window evaluation, paint removal, wood repair and replacement, and glazing techniques. 

Each participant will receive a kit including tools, mask, and handouts and work on a window from the Niles Barnard house to “learn by doing.”

A registration fee of $20 includes the restoration kit and lunch on Saturday. Please call 248-524-3301 or email lm.campbell@troymi.gov with questions or to register. No prior woodworking experience is required.
