YEAR-END APPEAL

Paint the Greeley House

We have identified an urgent need to preserve a cornerstone of Chappaqua’s history: the exterior of the Horace Greeley House must be repainted. Exposure to the elements has degraded the historic wood siding, putting the house at risk of long-term damage. A fresh coat of paint will not only restore its charm but also protect this treasured landmark for future generations.

OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE $15,000 TO MAKE THIS PROJECT POSSIBLE

•$50 buys one gallon of paint 🖌️

•$100 provides materials to repair weathered wood 🪚

•$250 pays for labor for a day👷‍♀️

•$500 or more helps ensure completion of the project 🏠

WHY YOUR SUPPORT IS SO IMPORTANT!

•Educational Value: As a hub for school programs, tours, and exhibits, the Greeley House inspires thousands each year. Protecting the building means continuing to offer these enriching experiences.
