Village House Capital Campaign  
 
In 1944, in the midst of the Second World War, citizens of Orient and East Marion committed themselves to the preservation of the history of their community by creating the Oysterponds Historical Society. Virtually every member of the community contributed to a fund to purchase the first Society building, Village House.

As a result we have been left with a wonderful inheritance that carries enormous responsibility because the maintenance of 18th- and 19th-century buildings comes with a 21st century expense. Village House is in need of immediate structural repairs if its integrity is to be preserved. Further delay of essential work will only increase the cost and indeed jeopardize the integrity of these historic structures.

It’s our turn. OHS is undertaking a major fundraising effort entitled “Saving the Past for the Future.” Our goal is to raise $500,000 to accomplish the restoration, preservation and conservation of Village House. More than 60 years ago, the generosity of a community and its love of Oysterponds inspired this Society to preserve its history. Once again, we ask this community for its financial support and spirit to continue the legacy. Please join us in our community endeavor to Save the Past for the Future.
