The Department of the Interior's National Park Service awarded a $2.3 million Project Grant to the West Virginia Division of Culture and History under the Save America's Treasures federal grant program (CFDA 15.929). The funding will support physical preservation work on three nationally significant historic properties in West Virginia: the Cottrill Opera House in Happy Retreat, the Wheeling Centre Market building, and an unspecified property in Wheeling. As the state historic preservation office, West Virginia Division of Culture and History will leverage the federal funds in a 1:1 match to complete conservation and restoration activities across the three sites between May 2023 and September 2026. The Save America's Treasures program aims to preserve nationally important artifacts, collections, and historic structures through competitive matching grants.
