One of our favorite preservation myths to bust is that historic homes can’t be energy efficient. Like all buildings, they need regular care and maintenance, but when looked after properly, they can be extremely warm and efficient.
We’ve gathered some resources for you, including a great guide from our friends at the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance, to help get your home ready for a North Country winter while protecting its historic integrity.
