Help Us Save the Historic La Prele Guard Station!
Who? We need volunteers like you for a one-week interior rebilitation project to restore the dwelling for continued use as a rental facility available to the recreating public.
What? A volunteer-based project led by HistoriCorps instructors designed to optimise preservation trades learning opportunties. Participants will learn to repair and install tile, repair and refinish historic woodwork, and replace kitchen and bathroom flooring.
Where? The La Prele Work Center is located in the La Prele Creek drainage on the southwestern slopes of the Laramie Range in southern Wyoming. The site is accessible by passenger vehicle. The address is: La Prele Guard Station (WY) 2250 E. RICHARDS, Douglas WY 82366.
When? 9am May 24, 2010 – 12noon May 28, 2010
Why? Because learning preservation trades in scenic Wyoming sounds like fun to me!
How much does it cost? Nothing! This project is free to all participants. Additionally, meals, tools, and safety equipment will be provided.
Additional Information: The project will be managed and supervised an experienced Western Wyoming outfitter, Dirk Jenkins, with a HistoriCorps instructor assisting the leadership. The construction team will include between six and eight members. Previous construction experience is not required. Tools, safety equipment, meals, and lodging at the La Prele Guard House will be provided by HistoriCorps but transportation to and from the project is the responsibility of the participant. All crew members must be physically fit and be willing to work long days in variable weather.
