Wrentham’s Proctor Mansion Inn is asking residents to consider supporting its ongoing Restoration Fund.

According to owners Brian and Dawn Fitzgerald, the property is not associated with any historical preservation funding. The couple have worked over the last fifteen years to sustain the historic Victorian house, established in 1861, with loans and volunteer hours.

“We thank you for being the most important part of our business and hope you can help us continue making memorable moments for the community for many years to come,” said the owners in a statement. “It truly warms our hearts that we have a space where people can stay overnight, have a wedding, have showers and other family milestones or attend our public events all while learning about the vast amount of history right here in Wrentham, MA.” 

They are asking for donations of any amount, noting that every dollar counts towards the continual upkeep and improvement of the historic property in the heart of Wrentham, including the gardens, main house and carriage house.

Planned restoration projects include:

• Main house gutters and upper dormers

• Restoration of decorative ceiling in downstairs hall

• Main house hard wood floors repair and varnish

• Landscaping – garden restoration 

• Completion of the carriage house painting

• General ongoing restoration

Donors can decide which project they’d like to support. Ways to donate include via check made payable to the Proctor Mansion Inn and mailed to Proctor Mansion Inn, Attn: Restoration Fund, 36 Common Street, Wrentham MA 02903. Donations can also be made via credit card by calling the inn at 877-384-1861. Or, donors can purchase an engraved brick for the inn’s front walkway. Call the inn for details on obtaining an electronic submission form to buy a brick.

Donations are not tax-deductible because the Inn is not a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. Any monetary gifts will be strictly for a donation to the Proctor Mansion Inn Restoration Fund and upkeep of the historic property. All donors will be acknowledg
