CORINTH — The Vermont Division for Historic Preservation and the Vermont Advisory Council on Historic Preservation awarded two Upper Valley communities $20,000 historic preservation grants.

Corinth will put the money toward removing vinyl siding in order to replace it with wood clapboards and trim on the south wall of Town Hall, which was built in 1912, according to a news release from the Division for Historic Preservation. 

The Norwich Community Collaborative, which purchased the Upper Valley Community Grange Hall in 2023, will use the funding to repair wood windows throughout the building.

Norwich and Corinth were among 22 Vermont towns selected for grant funding, according to the release.
