Historic Virginia Church Launches $1M Restoration Project
Trinity Episcopal Church in Staunton, Virginia, is set to embark on a $1 million project to restore and improve its historic grounds. The project, which begins this month, is one of 35 initiatives statewide to receive funding from the Virginia 250 Preservation Fund, totalling $20 million. The church, founded in 1746, is one of the oldest Episcopal parishes west of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The project, led by William T. Frazier and Kathleen O. Frazier of Frazier Associates, will focus on exterior restoration, accessibility improvements, signage, and an accessible bathroom. The funding is split equally between the Virginia 250 Preservation Fund and the church's Generation to Generation giving campaign. The project will commence with the removal of seven trees from the historic churchyard and cemetery, ensuring the preservation of the church's grounds alongside its buildings.
The project is scheduled for completion by July 2026, coinciding with the United States' 250th birthday. This timing is symbolic of the church's commitment to preserving its rich history and ensuring its continued relevance in the community.
Trinity Episcopal Church's $1 million project, assisted by Frazier Associates, is a significant step in preserving and improving the historic site. The project's completion will not only restore the church's grounds but also enhance accessibility, ensuring that the church remains a welcoming and accessible place of worship for all.
