It’s a labor of love

Old House Network

The Old House Network is a nonprofit educational gathering of old house lovers. We teach people how to care for houses built before 1950 by hosting workshops and seminars.

The Great Unveiling!

The Great Unveiling is one of our most satisfying events of the year.

Ever wondered what is under the vinyl, or metal or fiber siding on an old house? Once a year, during Preservation Month in May, Old House Network members swarm over an old house and strip it down to the original wood. We need volunteers to climb scaffolding with crowbars (and safety glasses) and folks on the ground to clean up. Watch this page for details. And if you have a home that needs to be "unveiled" contact us.
