Another project of the Foundation has been the restoration of Benevolent Hall under the direction of Mr. Holton Dickenson. This early Nineteenth Century building was on the verge of falling down and being buried in the thorn bushes. Mr. Poley, as he is affectionately called, had the land cleared, the cistern restored, the hall re-roofed. He also restored the interior and its benches. While more work needs to be done, this was a major project of historical preservation and the building is secure. Thank you Mr. Poley!
