Sackets Harbor Battlefield Museum Requires Roof Work-- Part 2

The Hall House is home to an exhibit that tells the story of the War of 1812 from a different perspective.  "It's about understanding the War of 1812 through archaeology," said Connie Barone.

Despite the damage to the building, as far as they can tell, there were no problems for its contents

"Metal objects, the archaeological materials, can be subjected to rust.  If, all of the sudden, their surface temperature is really cold, like your ice glass and you get condensation on that, condensation on metal items causes rust," said Chris Flagg.

Both Flagg and Barone will be monitoring the collection for the next two days.

If the heat isn't turned on by then, metal objects, paintings and textiles from the exhibit will be moved across the street to the Lieutenant's House.
