Hall School is getting a much needed facelift!!!

Thanks to a grant from Preserve RI,  which we applied for and received last summer, the EHA has been able to undertake some long-needed repairs to the Hall School (located on Ten Rod Rd, next to the Exeter Town Hall). The building is nearly 250 years old!!

Work is being done in stages, with the most critical maintenance underway first. Brian Patch of Plan B Construction Co., who so expertly repaired Woody Hill School last year, is doing the work.

As the grant we received (from Preserve RI's "1772 Foundation") is a matching grant, the Town of Exeter will fund the remainder of the work in the Spring.
