Each year, based on applications submitted for the Festival’s Historic Preservation Grant Program, the Festival’s Board of Directors approves a funding program based on the proceeds of the prior Festival of Trees. These projects are expected to be completed within two years.
First United Baptist Church, Lowell, MA
First United Baptist Church, built in 1826, has received a grant to replace the existing wooden bell wheel on their Paul Revere Co. bell with a new steel wheel as recommended by the Verdin Company (established in 1842 to manufacture church bells and clocks). In addition, the bell clapper will be refabricated as the existing clapper is also damaged and may damage the bell if not replaced.
