WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - They say it takes a village and Theresa proved that to be true.
Today the wall is rebuilt after the village raised $2,800 to preserve it. The wall was built in 1883 by inventor and Theresa native W.D. Chapman.
With the help of the Theresa Rotary Club, fundraiser organizers and local business owners Desi Howard and Jessie Taylor are excited to see the improvements.
“The community is excited about rejuvenating downtown, rejuvenating Theresa to its former glory, and we’re very lucky to have had the Theresa Rotary jump in both feet, and help us achieve this goal,” said Howard.
