I live in the town of Millerton and have worked in development and fundraising for a number of non-profit organizations over the years. Friends of the Irondale Schoolhouse has a clear, well-focused mission, a strong, committed board and the vision needed to fulfill their goals. By moving, restoring and transforming this historic one-room schoolhouse into a Visitor's and Cultural Center, it will enrich the community and support local businesses and economic development through tourism, adding another valuable landmark to the Village of Millerton's Historic Main Street District.
