The restoration, by Scott Ciardi of Brass from the Past, was commissioned by the Historical Society with an $800 grant from the Fairhaven Colonial Club, Inc.
The museum is open to the public on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., during the Huttleston Marketplace, which takes place on the lawns outside the building.
