The Newcastle Historical Society will host a talk by Steve Williams, owner and restorer of the Kavanagh Mansion, at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 12.
Williams, owner of the house since 2019, will speak about the restoration challenges and triumphs encountered while carefully preserving this historic building, one of Lincoln County’s most stately historic homes.
The mansion was built by James Kavanagh in 1803. Williams is restoring and updating this beautiful example of Federal architecture.
Williams will also share some of the numerous artifacts, both intentionally hidden and carelessly discarded, which help to tell the history of this Newcastle gem.
The public is welcome to this free event at the Clayton V. Huntley Jr. Fire Station.
