Historical society reports accessibility and roof repairs at barn and Morrison House step work
Summary
The historical society told the commission it installed a freestanding 4x4 platform with railing at a west-side door to improve access, plans cupola repairs on the barn to address rot and will pursue granite step replacement at the Morrison House.
A historical-society representative (speaker 7) reported site maintenance and accessibility work at the museum property. The society installed a non-attached 4-by-4 platform with railing at the west-side door to aid access and plans cupola repairs on the barn later this summer, which will require a boom lift. "We've added a little platform about 4 by 4 that sits on the ground, and it has a railing put on it," the representative said.
The society also discussed possible granite-step repairs at the Morrison House and options for sourcing stone from local landscaping companies or from a nearby demolished house. Members encouraged practical, maintenance-minded solutions and noted volunteering and small capital projects (including previous Eagle Scout signage efforts) as possible community contributions. No formal request for commission action was made; the items were reported as informational updates.
