Brian McKallagat and his crew just finished painting the second floor trim and doesn’t it look great? You can reach Brian at: irishink71@yahoo.com or 978-994-5238.

We are getting ready for our yearly yard sale to raise funds to do the rest of the painting.

Come see what great finds we have on June 2nd and 3rd.

The latest work on the Hand Tub House was to paint the freshly plastered walls and ceilings.

McKallagat Painting (Brian: 978-994-5238) did a great job even with the chilly temperatures (before the deep freeze).

Our next interior project will be focused on painting the trim.

Donations happily accepted.

Vallant Plastering has been doing a super job refacing the inside of the Hand Tub House

Now that the roof has been repaired and the windows Glazed, with help from Methuen Festival of Trees, we have been able to plaster the stairway and second floor of the Hand Tub House.

The Methuen Festival of Trees holds a fabulous event each year.  This year the dates are:

November 18-December 2, 2017

Check out their web page for more details.

Consider volunteering: It is a wonderful way to take part in the holiday season and preserving history.

The proceeds from the Festival of Trees provide funding to preserve the heritage and the monuments that make Methuen and the communities of the Merrimack Valley unique.  We have been lucky to receive several grants towards preserving the Hand Tub House:

Foundation Repair, Trim Restoration, Window Restoration, and Plastering

Thank you Vallant Plastering and Festival of Trees

The Rocks Village historians are looking for descendants of families who lived here in earlier times. We would like to borrow any old photos, maps, deeds, stories, newspaper articles, or other documents that you might have in your family archives and that you would be willing to share with us. In addition, with your permission, a local photographer would like to capture your portrait for inclusion in an artist book to be published at a later date.
