The Independence Historical Museum and Art Center has been awarded a grant from the Sunderland Foundation. IHMAC Director Ashley Hovell says this is to help with their IHMAC Forever Campaign.

Hovell says the $30,000 grant from the Sunderland Foundation will be used for interior renovations and improvements.  Hovell says this campaign was launched last year for what has become a four-phase project, with over $150,000 being pledged so far.
