ALIQUIPPA, Dec. 12 – The Beaver County Historical Research & Landmarks Foundation is receiving $4,000 in state funding from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, PHMC Commissioner state Rep. Rob Matzie announced today.

Matzie, D-Beaver, said the funding is part of a package of nearly $2 million in Cultural and Historical Support grants awarded statewide to Pennsylvania museums and historical societies.

“Our local history has plenty of lessons to teach, but it takes time and resources to collect, preserve and display those pieces of our past,” Matzie said. “The new funding will help ensure that our own Beaver County historical society and others throughout the state have the means to continue engaging and inspiring students of all ages.”
