We are so close to our goal of $40,000 to restore the bell tower at Historic West Hill School! To date we have received about $30,250, which includes a generous, anonymous matching gift. We were also awarded a $100,000 grant from the Erie Canal Heritage Corridor for this project, but we need $40,000 as our local match and to move forward with the complete restoration.
We have already begun the process of stabilizing the floors (also called cribbing) of the building so it's safe for everyone to begin the bell tower restoration process.
