The Historic Church Community Restoration Committee will be at Art in the Village, September 19–20 at Depot Park in Clarkston, and we’d love to see you there!

Stop by our booth for delicious homemade baked goods, and when you make a donation to support the restoration of our historic church, you’ll also have the opportunity to be entered into one of our raffles! 🎟️

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we’ve completed the exterior painting of our historic 1855 church! Our next major project is restoring the historic windows, and the funds we raise at Art in the Village will help us take the next step in preserving this special piece of our community’s history.

And there’s so much more to enjoy while you’re there! Spend the day browsing the work of the many wonderful artists and artisans, visiting local vendors, and supporting the Clarkston Community Historical Society and the important work they do to preserve and celebrate our local history.

Come enjoy a beautiful fall weekend in Clarkston, shop the artists and vendors, grab something sweet from our booth, enter a raffle, and help us give these historic windows the care they deserve.

Every donation—large or small—helps keep this 1855 landmark standing for generations to come. ❤️

We can’t wait to see you there!

It took a tremendous amount of effort, generosity, and community support, but we made it. Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, encouraged us, and put in the hard work needed to make this possible. We truly appreciate each and every one of you.

Just look at how beautiful she is—still standing proudly since 1855, renewed and ready for the years ahead! ❤️

A small but dedicated group is working to bring the nearly 200-year-old Clarkston church back to life after more than 25 years of vacancy.

Our first major restoration project is nearly complete! The exterior painting of the Historic Sashabaw Presbyterian Church is wrapping up and should be finished in early August. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped us reach this first important milestone.

Now it’s time to move on to the next phase of bringing this historic building back to life.

Our next goals are to repair the windows so the protective boards can finally come down permanently, and to begin addressing the building’s primary structural concern: a damaged beam that suffered deterioration after years of exposure to the elements. Funds raised through this GoFundMe will go directly toward these important restoration projects.

But this work is about much more than restoring a building. We want to bring this historic church back to the community and see it filled with life and purpose once again. We are already in conversation with a local therapy group interested in using the building for counseling services, and we envision a space available to community groups, gatherings, special occasions, and other uses our community has yet to imagine.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, volunteered, shared our story, and supported this restoration. With your help, we can preserve this piece of our community’s history and give it a new future.

We want to see this beautiful old church shine like a beacon of hope in our community once again.
