The Sunapee Heritage Alliance-(SHA), has received a timely and much appreciated grant from 1772 Foundation in cooperation with the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance.
SHA recently received a $5,750 matching grant to accomplish historic preservation projects. The grant will help further SHA’s mission of restoring The Livery by painting the exterior. This much needed facelift will help preserve The Livery for many years to come. As more and more events are happening at The Livery year-round, both inside and out, this work makes a lasting positive first impression on visitors and keeps pace with the other important improvements to this historic structure.
The Livery
The Livery in Sunapee Harbor is the last structure left from the bygone days of steamships and Grand Hotels on Lake Sunapee. The Livery was designated as a “7 to Save” property in October of 2008, and this grant from the 1772 Foundation in cooperation with the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance will visibly highlight the restoration progress made to date to the ever-growing number of visitors and local event attendees that have become part of The Livery experience and its continued history. To find out more about The Livery and all it has to offer go to our website at thelivery.org.
Sunapee Heritage Alliance
Incorporated as a non-profit in 2015, SHA became the owner of The Livery in December 2020. In 2021 it completed long awaited and much needed structural repairs thanks to a grant from the Northern Border Regional Commission.
