Julia Weber House
Moving Day 1901
After
many years of
trying, the Society & Museum, with the help of numerous donors,
finally moved Julia Weber's house to the museum grounds on June 30,
2001. Hundreds of donors, volunteers and staff hours and over $220,000
were raised to move and restore the exterior. The period between
September and the end of December saw
the replacement of the roof, a
new foundation, reconstructed veranda and many repairs to siding and
moldings. Julia's House is being restored to its 1892-1901 appearance
and will include exhibits that represent several periods of occupation
by the descendant Weber families. It will be an adaptive
restoration and will become the museum's new "front door" as
improvements are made according to the new Micke Grove and Museum
Master Plans. Donations of cash, materials and services are still
needed to complete the last of Phase I and begin Phase II.
