Be sure to save the date for our second annual open house event<\/strong> at the Hexagon House! Like last year, in honor of National Preservation Month, the offices of PHW and Shenandoah Arts Council will be open to the public on Saturday, May 13, noon-4 PM<\/strong>. The event is free and open to the public – and yes, the upstairs WILL be open for this event! Stop by to see the house, learn about our organizations, and enjoy some light refreshments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have seen the article in the Winchester Star noting the Willa Cather birthplace<\/a> is going up for sale. Since the article was posted, the National Willa Cather Center<\/strong> has started a fundraiser to try to purchase this site. If you’d like to contribute, you can find the information on their website<\/a>. Should the Center be unsuccessful in purchasing the property in Gore, the funds may be repurposed to preserve another Cather-related site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The City’s April’s workshop, in coordination with the North End Citizen’s Association, will focus on revitalization efforts in the North Kent Street area.

Registration is not required for this workshop. Open to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
