Save the Lowell Mason House !

--- Urgent Appeal ---

The Lowell Mason Foundation is seeking to raise $50,000 to save Lowell Mason's birthplace.
This historical house, located in Medfield, Massachusetts, is threatened with demolition to make way for new development. The cost to move and secure this treasure is $50,000 and time is running out. We need your help! Our plan is to work with preservationists and music educators to renovate and expand the house, which will be used as performance and education space, for music enrichment programs, and music association offices. It is our hope to create a Lowell Mason Museum and to showcase the early American architecture and construction of the house. Donations can be made online at www.lowellmasonhouse.com or checks can be made payable and sent to
Medfield Historical Society / Lowell Mason Fund
PO Box 233
Medfield, MA 02052
