FIRST ALARM FOUNDERS FUND

Western Maryland history is rich with events in which citizens stepped forward with small gifts to achieve common goals. With the 1845 Canada Hose House purchase complete, your Historical Society is opening this on-line donation portal to invite on-line contributions that will assist in the start-up costs of the Fire House renovation up through the reopening of the carriage doors.  

This Founders Fund’s is being specifically earmarked for renovation and restoration needed to return the Canada Hose House to city code compliance, safe operation of electrical and HVAC systems and opening the fire engine bay’s original front and rear doors to operating condition.
