PAWV has received a total of $8230 in donations since Giving Tuesday, which we've matched dollar-for-dollar for Saving Historical Places grants. Recipients thus far include the Wyoming Hotel, the Pence Hotel, and the Jefferson County Historic Landmarks Commission's Duffields Depot. Other funds have been ear-marked to use as a match for grant applications to support other projects. Thank you to the supporters who have helped make these preservation projects possible!
