Redbank Valley Historical Society's Health & Heritage Initiative
Clarion County Adventures is assisting Redbank Valley Historical Society in obtaining tax credits through the NAP program. The RBVS Health & Heritage Initiative is proposing to utilize the Building for publicly accessible community space, genealogical research, and educational programming.

The contributions raised through the NAP-SPP program are essential to undertake the Initiative which will include repairs to preserve the iconic Clock Tower on the building.

We are very happy to announce that the sale of the park land closed TODAY, so we are one step closer to building a park in Clarion!! Although we still have a long way to go, securing the land is the first step on this journey. Pictured is Janice Horn, whose $115,000 donation made this step possible. Thank you Janice!
