Preserve America

Did you know that the city of Fairmont is a Preserve America community? This White House designation is highly competitive and a great honor for us. Any organization in the city can now apply for grant funds for their organization. Main Street Fairmont applied for funding for a project called Finding Fairmont's History. We hope to do an oral history and walking tour of downtown Fairmont and use the information in free podcasts. We are super excited about the possibilities of these podcasts and walking tours because aside from their economic development potential, they really will help bring our community together around our history. If successful, we hope that you will join us by sharing your memories of downtown.

Keep your fingers crossed as we should find out the results of our application in September!
