Virginian Review First To Donate For C&O Passenger Station

The C&O Historical Society is launching a fundraising project to raise $149,000 to match a challenge grant from the Alleghany Foundation.

Funds will be used for the passenger station project underway in Clifton Forge and the C&O Heritage Center.
