Wyckoff Historical Society receives Bergen County History Grant
The grant is earmarked for Union Cemetery maintenance and to electrify the Barbershop Museum and was approved and presented to the WHS in March 2020. Thanks to the WHS Grant committee, Gail Scanlan, Peter Staller, and Richard Lynch, all who were instrumental in preparing the grant application and were notified of its approval in the spring of 2020.
Receiving the funds was crucial to the WHS as the Union Cemetery requires continuous and expensive grounds maintenance at least three times a year. Agius Landscaping Inc. recently cleared debris and weeds and will return in the fall. Without the grant monies (which will enable us to continue cemetery maintenance) we would not be able to continue our safe cemetery walks and crucial Eagle Scout projects.
The WHS is also researching to electrify the Barbershop museum located at Zabriskie Pond for an enhanced visitor experience and to keep its current collection preserved. Watch for updates on our website and Facebook page!
