Restoration Campaign 2023

2023 Drake House - Restoration Campaign


The Drake House  is a city-owned public museum, administered by the Historical Society of Plainfield. This public/private partnership between the City and the Historical Society of Plainfield has existed for over one hundred years. During this time, the Trustees of this elegant building have collected and preserved dozens of paintings, documents, maps and furniture of the Colonial and Victorian periods.
Phase III. Restoration
As beautiful as the Drake House is, the years have not been kind. The Board of Trustees will continue to seek funding through public and private sources in conjunction with the City of Plainfield, to finance the major portion of Phase 3 restoration.
However, we look to you, as we have in the past, to support our efforts to keep the Drake House alive!
Donations of $100 or more are desperately needed.  Click the link below to donate or mail your contribution to the address provided.
Thank You for your generous contribution.
