This reimbursable grant of $50,000 will support our stucco repair project, which has a total estimated cost of $75,000. That means we still must raise at least $25,000 locally before we can complete the work and receive the full reimbursement.

We will also be investing in 24 historical appropriate louver shutters for Rombach Place. Partnering with Ellis Fence Co., a local craftsman, these shutters will be color-matched and styled to mimic the historic look used here through the 19th and 20th centuries. All shutters will be installed in Spring 2026 when restoration work on the stucco is completed and the property is repainted. The cost of these shutters is $16,900 in total are we are seeking support from our members and community as we fundraise money for this important project and long-term investment.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Clinton County Historical Society relies on community generosity to close that gap, match grant dollars, and move this vital restoration work forward.
