SNOW HILL, Md. – The Town of Snow Hill announcing the Julia A. Purnell Museum has been awarded a grant to help support collections and cataloging work.

The total money awarded is $12,000 and comes from the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority.

The funding will support Phase One of a three-phase collections and cataloging project and will help bring in a intern to begin adding and documenting collection pieces.
