The Scituate Historical Society is located in a town that is subject to severe weather that may result in power outages, wind and other storm damage; the building is over 100yrs old and is of wood-frame construction. We do not have generators or automatic fire suppression. Thank you for having this giveaway – I’ve long wanted one for our headquarters.
