We ar
e happy to call the Historic Train Depot our home, but it's looking a little tired. It's time to show it a little love!
We are reaching out to our members, community leaders and citizens to help repaint the South Columbia County Chamber of Commerce building, the Historic Train Depot. We were recently awarded a $2,000 matching funds grant from Columbia County Cultural Coalition for this project. Our project goal is to raise an additional $5,000 covering materials and labor.

volunteers who want to help raise the money for this project. And if we don't receive full funding, we will need lots of help with the actual painting project.

Behind the Scenes
If we raise $5,000 with the matching grant we can consider hiring a local contractor for this project. If fall short of our goal, we will call upon volunteers for a painting event. For questions, please contact
