Moving a door from the former David Damon House out of the barn and into storage.
As previously reported, artifacts stored in the barn were inventoried, photographed and placed into storage. Several large artifacts remained, which due to their size needed special
attention. Shown here is a door from the former David Damon House which stood on Bridge Street. Sharon Mehrman created a detailed documentation of the door with photographs that included
measurements for exhibition planning. The door was prepared for transport and stored off-site.
