History in a New Light: DCHS 90th Anniversary Fundraiser

Help Us Create A Brighter Future!

Enjoy a night of music, pizza, and history at Juniper Hill Farm. All proceeds will benefit the stained-glass window restoration project at the Watkins Museum of History. The Project: The three stained-glass windows in the main stair hall are an impressive original feature of the Watkins Building and have neve received a comprehensive cleaning and repair. Over time, some sections of glass have cracked, lead caning deteriorated, and the windows have started to sag. The protective acrylic coverings installed on the exterior in the 1970s have helped preserve the windows but are also cracked, discolored, and now in need of replacement. Treatment proposed by the Stained Glass Store LLC, Grimes, IA.
