Preserve Your Heritage: Join Northfield Library’s Free Window Restoration Workshop

The Northfield Public Library at 210 Washington Street is hosting a free workshop on repairing and restoring old windows. The event will take place on Saturday, June 8, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. It is open to anyone interested in learning how to preserve wood windows. Erin Hanafin Berg, a historic preservation expert, will lead the session. The workshop will cover topics like glazing, paint preparation, and painting techniques.

Participants can bring a window from their home to work on, but practice sashes will be available as well. The goal of the workshop is to teach homeowners and property owners the skills to maintain and restore their old windows, focusing on sustainability and historical preservation.

The event is organized by Rethos, a non-profit from Minnesota that focuses on historic preservation. It is supported by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s GreenStep Cities program and partially funded by the Arts & Cultural Legacy Fund through the Minnesota Historical Society.
