A DeWitt County historical site uses the off-season to finish a much-needed renovation.

Joey Long, Director of the CH Moore Homestead and DeWitt County Museum explains they are replacing the wood flooring in two of the mansion's rooms. She notes this project can only be completed while they are closed to tours for the season.  

When making necessary renovations to the building, Long says they seek to be as historically accurate as possible. For the floor, that means finding the right type of wood and recreating how it was originally constructed. 

Long assures the project will be completed by the time the museum reopens to the public on April 1st. She looks forward to showing off the improvement to the guests of the 2025 season. 

Visit the CH Moore Homestead when it opens for the season this April. Find more information at chmoorehomestead.org.
