Workers sought for projects at Burfiend farms

Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear is looking for volunteers to help with fall work projects on buildings in the Port Oneida Rural Historic District of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

PHSB, a non-profit organization, assists in preserving historic structures and cultural landscapes within the national park.

PHSB is planning a project for tomorrow and Saturday, Sept. 28-29, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., to work on historic outbuildings at the Peter Burfiend and Carsten Burfiend farms in the historic district. The two-day event will save and restore a “rabbit shed” and “brooder house” that are in poor condition, according to a news release.

Volunteer Jack Boss, a carpenter from Maple City, will supervise the project. Funding for materials was obtained through a grant the non-profit received from the Biederman Foundation.

Both skilled and unskilled carpenters are encourage to volunteer. To register, call PHSB at 334-6103 or register online at www.phsb.org.
