Online Fundraisers

Supporting the Rising Sun Inn
from the Comfort of your Home!

Online fundraisers are an easy way to the support the ongoing preservation and restoration projects at the historic Rising Sun Inn without leaving your home. You know how much love and care historic buildings need. We have several projects in the works and need your help to make them a reality. Our 2019-2020 sales will continue to help fund the restoration of our Carriage House and to tackle our next major restoration project, the exterior restoration of our historic Inn. The Carriage House Restoration Project includes foundation repairs, replacement of the cedar shake roof, exterior painting, and restoration of the interior. The Exterior Inn Restoration Project includes significant woodwork and masonry repairs, exterior painting, window re-glazing, and storm water mitigation.

With your generous help, we have made great progress with the Carriage House Restoration. In late 2017, we were able to complete the foundation repair work, and in July 2018, after many weather delays, the cedar shingle roof was replaced. In the Fall of 2018, with the help of lots of volunteers - including the Maryland State Society Children of the American Revolution and CityServe, the Carriage House exterior got a major face lift. While there is still much work to be accomplished, completing the foundation repair and roof replacement achieves a major benchmark in our restoration efforts. Thank you!
