What are the donations used for?

Donations will be used to relocate the Kreger House, shed and barn to the Village Center.  Moving the structures will be about $35,000 and another $215,000 to construct foundations and connect electrical and plumbing to the Kreger House and outbuildings.  Another $180,000 will be used to renovate the interior of the house, re-purpose the shed and add an addition to the barn as well as for landscaping and furnishings.  No Village tax dollars will be used.

With your gift, you will be enrolled in the Kreger Preservation Club and you will be recognized for your contribution by the Franklin Historical Society.
