For the first time in its 160-year history, Lippitt House's exterior will be restored. The necessary repointing and brownstone repairs will restore weather-tightness to the building, ensuring that key architectural features, original interior finishes, and Museum collections are protected from water damage, while also maintaining safe community access to the Museum and its grounds. The multi-year project is scheduled to begin in spring of 2026.

​

This restoration project is made possible in part by a grant in part by a History of Equal Rights grant from the Historic Preservation Fund administered by the National Park Service, Department of the Interior; a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, through an appropriation by the Rhode Island General Assembly, a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and private funders; a grant from The Champlin Foundation, and individual donors.
