Planning for the future

Hyde Hall’s restoration saga began in the early 1970s and continues today. Early efforts focused on assessing and addressing the Hall's structural priorities and outbuildings' viability. Major work went into arresting decades of deterioration and restoring systems that had fallen into complete disrepair.

Since the mid-2010, the Hall, outbuildings, and landscape have seen an incredible array of restorations and improvements.
