Grand Re-dedication Photos It was a chilly Sunday afternoon but over 50 of our faithful supporters gathered on the back lawn of the Peekskill Museum on May 17th, to hear the details of our three year restoration project. Augie Augustowski, Museum President welcomed the visitors and introduced Calvert Schlick our current Vice President. Cal was President when we began the ambitious project and guided us through the complicated details of administering the two NY State grants we received, as well as monitoring the expenditure of Museum funds to complete the restoration. He explained the highlights of that journey and gave credit to the many individuals and organizations that aided us along the way. He then introduced John Beers, the general contractor who was responsible for the endless details of the task as well as managing the sub-contractors that were on site. John is a "hands-on" craftsman that never comprised on any of the historic design features of the Herrick House. Authentic materials and construction techniques were employed throughout and the finished product is a sterling example of what can be accomplished when a dedicated team, who take pride in their work, come together with a common goal.  Calvert Schlick explains the complex details of the three year restoration project. After the formal presentations, our guests enjoyed refreshments, that included this layer cake with a beautiful picture of the restored front of the Museum.
