Face lift for Superintendent's home

Park staff at work on the Superintendent's home

Fayette Historic Townsite park staff is working diligently in cold, windy, fall weather to apply paint provided by the Friends. We can rest easy knowing that this historic structure will be freshly painted before winter sets in.  A special thanks to all the park staff who have worked on this project.  This represents another successful example of cooperation between State Park staff and Friends of Fayette Historic Townsite.  Thank you Friends of Fayette Historic Townsite donors for making this improvement possible. 

"Hanging out" at the Superintendent's house

Thanks to modern technology, the hydraulic bucket hoist makes painting the historic structures easier and safer. For those of you who have been here, the Superintendent's home is the white house on the hill, complete with historical displays for all to enjoy. We hope you'll return in the spring to drift back to another era.

Fresh Paint at Fayette Historic Townsite

What a wonderful opportunity for the tourists and campers over the Labor Day weekend.  Building #3, directly across from the Superintendent's home, was completed just in time for the Labor Day break.  In the first photo you see Friends of Fayette Historic Townsite donation dollars at work.  The exterior is painted in historically correct colors.  Inside you will find educational displays about the building.  Come visit Fayette and learn more about this 19th century townsite.  Enjoy the outdoors and the beautiful scenery.


                                                 Everybody enjoys a "before" and "after" picture and in the second photo is the "after" picture.  Hopefully the fresh paint will preserve this building for another decade.  There are many buildings at Fayette that need help.  Your donation dollars make this type of preservation possible.  The Friends of Fayette Historic Townsite, a 501 (c) (3) non profit, would like to thank all donors who have given support over the years.  A special thanks to Brenn Kurth Contracting for his expertise and quality work on these very old buildings.
