On Sunday, February 8, the Lewisville Historical Society hosted a reception at the Lewisville Library to celebrate and to thank all those who have played a role in the relocation and the ongoing restoration efforts of the Nissen House.
Addressing a full auditorium, members of the Lewisville Historical Society recounted the various stages involved in finding a new home site for the Nissen House and in completing the relocation in January. The house movers, town officials, donors, laborers and volunteers who participated in a number of ways were individually recognized for their respective roles.
Among those in attendance were Michael Blake of Blake Moving Company in Greensboro, U.S. Congresswoman Virginia Foxx, Forsyth County Commissioner Debra Conrad, and Lewisville’s mayor and town council members.
Light refreshments were served at the conclusion of the program. While everyone mingled and enjoyed the refreshments, a slide presentation was projected, showing scenes of the house’s relocation process — interspersed with a variety of interior house images.
