The Friends of the Town House (FOTH), a 501(C)3 organization, was established in 2006 at the request of the North Brookfield Board of Selectmen for the purpose of raising funds and promoting public support for the restoration of the historic Town House. The Friends’ mission is to preserve the structural integrity of the Town House while retaining the historical character and architectural design of the building in order to reestablish it as the center of civic, political, social and cultural activities of the Central Massachusetts Rural Region.
At the present time, all work of the Friends is done by their 89 members and a large number of volunteers. The Friends have retained fundraising counsel (Financial Development Agency of Amherst, MA) plus historic property developers (Architectural Heritage Foundation of Boston, MA) to help raise funds and seek funding sources for the redevelopment project.
