Howell Living Historical Farm

Stanley & Eric have been volunteers at Howell Farm on and off for almost 20 years now, involved in various aspects of the farm including education, farming, and restoration. Eric spent several summers working long days as a farm hand, thus avoiding summer camp.

Antique conservation and restoration is the same in theory no matter what the scale. Stanley ran projects for Howell farm including large-scale timber framing repair and restoration for farm buildings and assisted in the farmhouse restoration.

Eric & Stanley also became involved in a project to build furniture for the farmhouse through the Hopewell Valley School District Adult schooling program. The class, lead by Mr. Saperstein, produced several of the country pieces featured on this site.
