The Friends announce the award of a Grant to refurbish the Paul Revere Bell in the 1836 meeting house.
The Meeting House steeple holds one of 23 remaining Bells cast by Paul Revere. Concerns about the bell integrity were recently raised and the Verdin Company, a 182-year-old Revere bell restoration expert, was called in to examine the bell. They found deficiencies with the 1) Headpiece/Clapper/Spring assembly and with 2) the mounting bracket attachment bolts. A Grant Request was filed to repair these defects and the Friends of the 1836 Meeting House voted to award $9,965 for the repair of the bell deficiencies. The repair is currently underway and is expected to be completed by July 2025.
