This NH Gives, we’re asking for your help with a vital piece of that work: saving one of the Hale House’s original three-story chimneys. Years of New England weather have left the brick vulnerable to water infiltration, threatening the structural integrity of the home. Your donation will fund the application of a commercial-grade, water-based ChimneySaver treatment, specifically designed for historic masonry, to protect this architectural treasure from further decay.

Historic preservation is about more than just buildings. It’s about honoring the people who lived, worked, and shaped the communities we live in today. By supporting this project, you’re helping to preserve one of New Hampshire’s most significant historic homes and ensuring that future generations can continue to walk these halls, explore our collections, and connect with the stories that make this region extraordinary.

One house. One chimney. A legacy worth saving.
