Proceeds from the party go toward the preservation of historic structures in Ludlow.
Currently, the Historic Society is restoring a home in the district, built in the late 1800s by James Meehan, who supervised the Ludlow railyards from 1881-1893. The society is also working with the Ludlow Heritage Museum to preserve the last remaining brick Victorian building in the railyard.
