July Brown Bag/Local Lore: Restoration at the Ellwood House

On Thursday July 6 at noon, Roger Keys will share an in-depth look at his work to restore Ellwood House Museum structures and other local projects.

Keys is a Genoa-based restoration specialist and owner of RW Keys & Son. His work can be seen throughout the Midwest. Recent Ellwood House projects include repair of the chimney and reconstruction of the stairs at Ellcourt (formerly known as Ellwood-Nehring House) as well as updates to the Little House.

In 2021, Keys completed restoration of the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Clock on the corner of First Street and Lincoln Highway.
