The Chinsegut Hill Manor House has stood since the early 1850s. It's an important window into the past that was on the verge of closing, but now this slice of history is safe and sound.
Some last-minute work is still underway, but the restoration work to the house is complete, including a new roof, a new foundation and much more.
Christie Anderberg has played a major role is saving the old house.
"I never envisioned it would come out looking as beautiful as it does," she said.
It has taken a little less than a year - about 10 months - to restore the historic house.
For a while the future of the house was very unclear. Then a group called the Friends of Chinsegut Hill stepped up and went to work to save all the history.
With a lot of help from the state and the county, the house has been fixed up and saved.
"That's just the first step, and now we need to keep moving," Anderberg said. "We need to be able to sustain this for the long run."
Pictures, furniture and other pieces of history will soon fill up the empty rooms. All of it is designed to last another 160 years.
"It better, after all this," Anderberg said. "I think it will stand a lot longer than that."
The plan is to open the house up to the public very soon. That could happen as soon as next week.
