Bishop Hill Heritage Association receives grants from local foundations

To celebrate the 175th anniversary of the founding of the Bishop Hill Colony, the Bishop Hill Heritage Association has organized a series of lectures, workshops, concerts, and festivals in 2021.

Two Henry County foundations have donated funds for these programs, a news release says. One is a gift from the Bill and Susan Sherrard Foundation and a grant of $1,000 from the Geneseo Foundation.
