Local Nonprofits Receive Funding From Indiana Landmarks

Community Art Center of Switzerland County and Switzerland County Historical Society both received funding from Indiana Landmarks.

(Switzerland Co., Ind.) - Throughout the first few months of 2020, Indiana Landmarks awarded $22,900 to nonprofits and cities around Indiana to help save meaningful places.

Grants given will support efforts ranging from architectural studies guiding repairs for early nineteenth-century homes in Jeffersonville and Salem to a project digitizing biking and walking tours in Indianapolis’s historic neighborhoods.

Locally, two groups in Switzerland County were awarded funds, including:

  • Community Art Center of Switzerland County, Vevay $2,500 for a feasibility study examining how to improve accessibility to the upper floors of the 1855 building housing the art center.
  • Switzerland County Historical Society, Vevay $2,500 for a feasibility study examining how to improve accessibility to the upper floor of the society’s museum, located in the 1860 Vevay Presbyterian Church.

“Indiana Landmarks offers grants to help get the ball rolling on preservation projects and help spark community revitalization around the state,” says Marsh Davis, president of Indiana Landmarks. “We’re extremely grateful, especially in these economically uncertain times, that we’re able to continue to offer this crucial support to local preservation groups.”
