Program Space Being Added to Historic Hubbard House
The
West Virginia Humanities Council requests your support with the renovation
of our existing patio area at the MacFarland-Hubbard House.
The patio area is being re-purposed into a functional outdoor programming
space sheltered by a pergola structure built in an architectural style
consistent with the house. This project is turning a little-used outdoor
area into a program space to provide increased public access to history
programs and cultural events.
Contact the Council to see how you can be a part of this exciting
project!
