POTSDAM – The Potsdam Public Museum's 2013 Potsdam Sandstone Festival Sept. 19 to 22 has received grant support from the Sweetgrass Foundation.

The funds will help to bring preservation and heritage stone masons to the festival to demonstrate methods of cutting, building and repairing sandstone in historic sandstone buildings.

For more information about the festival, visit the museum website at www.PotsdamPublicMuseum.org or call the museum at 265-6910.

The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
