Kast House Restoration

FOR ANTIGO TIMES

Though closed for the season, the Kast House at Shawano’s Heritage Park, was

the site of extensive activity recently as volunteers packed and moved vintage furniture

and accessories and memorabilia to facilitate much needed repair and restoration.

Shawano County Historical Society’s board of directors are in the early planning

stages of the 150 th anniversary of the single family home built by John Kast in 1871 next

to his planing mill and flour mill on the Shawano Lake Outlet.  To get the house ready

for featuring in 2021, flooring, walls, windows, wiring and plumbing need to be retro-

updated.

Board Secretary Aaron Damrau indicated that while “we have identified specific

issues to be addressed we know, as in any home redo, we’re going to discover some

surprises.  Difficult to set down a project list and budget at this time. We are asking in

the community if anyone would have some vintage items to donate to enhance the

museum visitors experience, such as: ceiling light fixtures, pantry cupboards, area rug,

and interior and exterior doors.” Individuals with items to donate should contact SCHS

Executive Director Ben Dudzik or Curator Jesse Borlen at the Society’s facility on

Franklin Street.
