Restoration Workshop

The Oil Region Alliance will hold a workshop on restoring three-coat plaster at the historic Judge McKee House in Clintonville Saturday, May 6 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The workshop will focus on methods of stabilizing historic plaster, as well as restoring plaster using traditional methods, tools, and materials.

The cost of the workshop is $30, which includes refreshments plus materials to use during the workshop and to take home for future use. Space is limited. Pre-registration is required. Contact Jessica at jgorman@oilregion.org or 814-677-3152.
 
The Judge Thomas McKee Homestead was settled in 1796, with evidence that the stone structure was standing in 1821, making it one of the oldest houses still standing in Venango County. Judge Thomas McKee was named an associate judge when Venango County was formed in 1805.
 
This workshop is part of the Oil Region Alliance’s celebration of May as National Historic Preservation Month.
