Projects
 

HPHA supporters have generated over $285,000 for the restoration project since January of 2004. Almost $260,000 has been spent on renovation and restoration work on the main structures at the Penrose-Strawbridge site.

The Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission awarded HPHA a $90,000 Keystone matching grant for the year 2005-07.
