Ohio History Fund - Help WHS

February 17, 2023 / Beth Hyder

Tax time is your time to support Ohio History! Did you know you can donate part of your Ohio income tax refund to the Ohio History Fund? It’s as simple as entering the donation amount on line 26b of Ohio Form IT 1040. Since its inception in 2012, the Ohio History Fund has awarded 110 grants for a total of $1 Million to help preserve Ohio history. This total includes a $3,867 grant to WHS to install a new HVAC unit in Wakeman Hall in 2021. This March, we hope to hear that the Ohio History Fund will help WHS restore the foundation and sill beams of the Sargent House Museum.
