I am happy to be announcing a new matching grant! This time for the Mt. Harvard. A commitment from the membership of the Milwaukee Road Historical Society for a matching grant places our Mt. Harvard in a good position to operate in a limited time frame for next year. This is a one to one matching grant up to $1,500.00! It is an important step towards bring the Mt. Harvard back to operational status. Please consider a donation. You can be confident that every dollar matched will be wisely used in this restoration.

Sandi is prepping the hallway for primer.

All taped and ready for painting.

Primed and ready for the next coat.

In the mean time, and not to be out done, Bob Olsen is continuing the removal of the old paint layer in the women's bathroom.

He is removing old paint beneath the mirrors.

This is what he has accomplished so far.

The wall by the sinks.

This area is still waiting for paint removal.

Gregg Wolfersheim is removing old rivets from the one good stair step. We are using this step as a pattern for the future rebuilt of many stairs need for the John Mcloughlin and the Mt. Harvard.
