If you've driven past the Sayre Cabin lately, you may have noticed a fundraising thermometer slowly climbing higher and higher!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Jackson County Commission, the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation, Fund for Ravenswood, and an incredibly dedicated private donor, we have now raised $43,500 toward the restoration of the historic Sayre Cabin!

That puts us more than 76% of the way toward our $57,000 goal and one step closer to preserving this important piece of Jackson County history.

Every donation, grant, share, and word of encouragement has helped move this project forward, and we are deeply grateful for the support we've received from our community.

With just $13,500 left to raise, we're entering the final stretch. If you'd like to help us reach our goal and preserve the Sayre Cabin for future generations, please consider making a donation at the link below:

Who's this little fellow? A few of these were found snacking on the lovage at the cabin garden? Who could blame them? It's a herb with a celery taste. Zoom in and the colors will give you a clue as to what it will be. :) Community: a Jackson County online news source
