PRINCE GEORGE – Virginia – A building that held Prince George County records in the late 1800s will soon become the site of a new exhibit center celebrating the county’s cultural heritage.
The Prince George Regional Heritage Center is working to raise funds for a $100,000 project that will transform the Old Clerk’s Office into an exhibit and genealogical research space.
Some of the exhibit costs will be covered by a $50,000 grant from the Cabell Foundation. The grant requires $50,000 in matching funds from the Prince George Regional Heritage Center.
Carol Bowman, executive director of the heritage center, wasn’t sure how much more needed to be raised, but did say the center is still actively raising funds.
When completed, the exhibits will reveal chapters in the county’s history and heritage.
