While its windows are boarded up, the porch sags and once white paint has turned brown and gray, a historic home in northwestern Forsyth soon will see better days. The Forsyth County Historical Society is leasing the unoccupied Sherrill House and about 2 surrounding acres on Old Federal Road from the county for $10 for five years. The property was part of about 225 acres Forsyth bought in 2009 as part of the voter-approved $100 million parks, recreation and green space bond.
