HARMONY — Rodney Gasch, President of the Harmony Museum, announced plans to replace 40 windows in the Harmony Museum’s historic building were still on track Monday night.

“This is Phase 2 of our window project,” he said. “We did 222 Mercer a couple years ago, where the village post office and the museum store is, so we are going to apply for a matching grant from the Pennsylvania Historical Museum.”

He also hopes, if Historic Harmony receives funding, to repair brickwork on the building and to repaint it, he said.

The grant, called a Matching Construction Grant, would double the sum of any funding Historic Harmony might raise on its own, if awarded. Applications for this grant will be due in late February, Gasch said.
