Event Information

12:00am Friday, May 10, 2019 to 12:00am Saturday, May 11, 2019

Join us for our 9th annual Women Build Weekend on May 10th and 11th - a two-day extravaganza of women, construction, teaching, training, learning... and bringing new life to one very old house.

This year, we're taking Women Build where we've never gone before - back in time!  Join us as we tackle the deconstruction and renovation of an 1860's Greek revival-style home on Slaterville Road in Ithaca.  We'll host workshops, led by female instructors, covering various topics of old home construction, repair, and preservation.

And, if you attended Women Build last year, you can see the wall panels that we built get put to good use!  With Mother Nature's cooperation, we'll be working on the deck and possibly even raising those wall panels up to begin construction of a new Habitat home.

We'll delve into the old, we'll begin something new.  Bring a friend and join us for a Mother's day weekend you won't soon forget!
