About Friends of the Dwight-Derby House
Friends of the Dwight-Derby House was established 15 years ago to work toward the town purchase and it continues today to raise funds through grants, individual and corporate donations and sale of memorabilia for restoration and maintenance of the house. Restoration has also been accomplished through the donation of time, talent and effort by many local volunteers.
The May 19 gala will be the first large scale fundraising celebration to obtain the funds needed to continue with the long range plans of the house.
