Appraisal Day is one of the Historical Society’s public out-reach programs. Fees are collected to finance the event. Money in excess of operating costs will be used towards the conservation of possessions already owned by the Museum. For instance, extra money collected during past Appraisal Days has supported the restoration of a unique 1810 David Wood tall clock, given to the Society by the Roland Woodwell Estate of Joppa.
