New Hampshire Old House & Barn Expo
March 20-21, 2010
Center of New Hampshire, Radisson Hotel, 700 Elm Street, Manchester, NH

Our extemely well-received fifth Old House & Barn Expo was held on March 20-21. Attendees visited exhibits and attended the lectures on topics such as how to fix a roof or repair drafty old windows, historic garden styles, and what to do to shore up an old barn. Some attendees brought in photos and plans, even windows and moldings, and were able to talk through their problems with over 100 experts. More information to be posted soon! See a few photos below.

This one-stop-shopping trade show, held every other year, helps old house and barn owners and enthusiasts with appropriate and affordable solutions. It offers a rare chance to meet face-to-face with knowledgeable suppliers of repair and restoration products and services, and gather valuable ideas from hourly live talks and demonstrations. Energy savings, window repair, and weatherization techniques were featured this year.
