How to care for your old house, protect Rhode Island's heritage, and help save the planet!

Do you love your historic home but hate the high heating bills and wasted energy? Learn how to make your old home more "green," saving money and energy without losing its historic character.

The fully-restored Buliod-Perry House (c. 1750) in the heart of historic Newport (29 Touro St.), is the setting for this workshop. Experts will present information and demonstrations on:
• insulation
• weatherizing the building envelope (walls, doors, roof, etc.)
• wood window repair and restoration
• retrofitting for efficient heating systems
• tax credits and funding sources
• and more

Please note that the children's program has been cancelled.

This workshop is a joint project of Newport Restoration Foundation, Preserve Rhode Island, Historic New England, and theProvidence Revolving Fund, in association with Heritage Restoration, Inc and Heartwood Building & Restoration.
