Franklin House committee chairperson Julie Dineen said it was important for them to be able to welcome the community back to the house.
"We had to cancel our major fundraising which was [at] the end of March," she said.
"Normally our big fundraising for the year is our annual fair, but of course this year we had to cancel that and being closed for all these months there has just been no money coming in.
"We need to have some sort of event or function to bring some money in to pay for the day to day running of the house and the general maintenance."
The event is this Sunday, November 15, from 10am to 2 pm with the house generally open to the public Friday to Monday 10am to 4 pm.
