The Corry Area Historical Society (CAHS) recently used a generous grant from the Northwest Bancorp Charitable Foundation to install a dehumidifying system from Flick's and Daniels. This will positively impact the meeting room, office area, and Archive room. We also used funds from our successful Erie Gives campaign from the Erie & Corry Community Foundations, along with our own funds. We greatly appreciate the support!
Our latest project involved improving the entrance way to the museum near the parking lot to continue enhancing the facade with the help of ECGRA, through a partnership with Erie Yesterday.
We thank the Corry Community Foundation, the Erie Community Foundation, ECGRA, Northwest Bancorp Charitable Foundation, sponsors, and our entire community for their generosity and support!
We would like to thank the community for your continued support! Your generosity is much appreciated. We also thank the non-profits that have backed us and have been there when we needed them.
