The retention of four staff members and the rehiring of seven additional part-time employees to develop programing at five Virginia historic sites.

Preservation Virginia seeks assistance underwriting ongoing digital education programs while performing a phased re-opening of five historic sites: Bacon's Castle, Cape Henry Lighthouse, the John Marshall House, Patrick Henry's Scotchtown and Smith's Fort. Full-time and part-time staff have been creating digital educational content through the pandemic including videos, webinars and blog posts. NEH funding will retain staff to continue that work while beginning the process of re-opening our five historic sites open to the public in phases.
