Proceeds from this raffle will go to fund the project mentioned below:

The loom that belonged to Abbie Burgess Grant is
being donated to ALF for our Museum of Lighthouse
History. Also, all the paperwork that proves it belonged toAbbie Burgess Grant is on its way to me. This is a rare and valuable artifact of Maine's most famous lighthouse heroine. The loom was originally on Whitehead Island Lighthouse in Maine. However, the loom, which still works, is quite large 55" wide,6-feet long and 6-feet high and is made from mahogany. It will need to be crated and shipped from Wisconsin, where it now is, to Maine by a moving company or private carrier. ALF will need to pay for the expense of having it shipped to us, with an approx cost of $2,000 or more. The loom was in use until a few weeks ago and is used to make old fashion "rag rugs". All the parts are original. This will be great and wonderful donation to the museum.

ALF is also accepting donations to bring the loom to Maine. http://www.lighthousefoundation.org/
