Lunenburg Academy Foundation Announces Restoration Project
“Saved by the Bell? Now It’s Your Turn”

The Lunenburg Academy Foundation is pleased to have been presented with the Heritage Recognition Award by the Town of Lunenburg.

The Lunenburg Academy was nominated to receive this important recognition for the extensive preservation and restoration work to the outside of the Lunenburg Academy building that was completed in March 2021.

The Lunenburg Academy, built between 1893 – 1895, is a massive, three storey Victorian building located atop Gallows Hill in the center of Lunenburg. The ornate Academy building is a registered Municipal and Provincial Heritage Property, and as of 1983, a National Historic Site, owned by the Town.

The Lunenburg Academy Foundation, since its inception in 1981, has dedicated itself to the care, preservation and restoration of the building. Comprised of former staff, alumni and interested citizens, the Foundation works closely with the Town of Lunenburg to ensure the future of the Lunenburg Academy. 



The award was presented to the Lunenburg Academy Foundation Board Members and Alumni; Roxanna Smith and Jane Ritcey-Moore, by Mayor Risser and Town Heritage Manager, Arthur MacDonald on May 26, 2021.

The Lunenburg Academy Foundation is grateful to be the recipient of this award in recognition of the restoration work to our beloved Heritage Academy building. Thank you to the Town of Lunenburg!
