SOUTHWICK – The Southwick Historical Society is hosting an upcoming event in order to gain support for one of their historical properties that needs an upgrade. On Sept. 16 at 6 p.m., the Southwick Historical Society will be having an event at The Cove Restaurant and Banquet Facility to raise money to replace the current roof of the Joseph Moore House, which is located at 86-88 College Hwy in Southwick and also extends into Granby, Conn.

Built in 1851 by Joseph Moore himself, the Joseph Moore House has a roof that is around 20 years old and it’s important for the society to upgrade the roof. The society is looking to buy a roof that will fit in with the era of when the house was built so the level of authenticity will stay intact.
The event will include comedienne Janet from Another Planet and musician Sarah the Fiddler, as well as a chance for people to participate in a raffle and have the opportunity to win some unique items.
People throughout the community are encouraged to attend the event and contribute to raising money to preserve this historic town building. All donations are tax deductible. The cost to attend the event is $40.
For any further questions about the event or the Joseph Moore House, call the society at 413-569-6140 or visit their website.
