The Shafer Historical Museum is pleased to bring historic preservation expert, Chris Gustafson of Vintage Windows Restoration LLC to the Methow several times over the next year to lead volunteers in hands-on training workshops in historic wood preservation.
Volunteer workparties on window repair and log/wood cleaning and treatments that meet historic and environmentally responsible standards are planned for Thursday- Saturday, Sept. 21-23. These are FREE and you learn while working on the historic windows at the Shafer Museum.
Some woodworking skill is helpful for the windows work, but not required. Wood cleaning & treating just requires ability to dry brush, spray a hose, or wield a paint brush.
Email Suzanne at director @ shafer museum . org for more info or to sign up, or go to Volunteer Methow directly.

If you have a historic structure on your property which you’d like assessed, Chris is available for a limited number of consultations by appointment by completing the work request form on his website vintagewindowrestorationllc.com. He's in town from Sept 18-25th, 2023. He'll be back again, so you can talk to him about future projects!
Volunteers run the Shafer Museum! All year 'round, there's lots to be done, indoors & out. There's something for every personality!
