The Trumbull County Historical Society has received a grant from the Ohio History Fund in order to put money towards an organization project.
A check presentation will be happening at the Historical Society, 444 Mahoning Avenue, NW, Warren on March 21 beginning at 11 a.m.
According to a news release, the Trumbull County Historical Society received $20,000.
The money will be used to move the Sutliff Museum, currently housed in the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library, to the Morgan History Center of the Trumbull County Historical Society.
This project aims to move 3,500 nationally significant artifacts about the Underground Railroad, the anti-slavery movement and 19th century Warren.
The area in the Morgan History Center will be climate-controlled according to the news release.
The Trumbull County Historical Society and the newly formed Sutliff Committee will curate new exhibits, ensure the long-term preservation of the collection and transcribe more the 800 documents and letters to improve accessibility to the collection for both researchers and the public.
