A check for $500,000 dollars was presented to County and Friends of the Holt Home officials on Saturday during the annual Community Day event. The funds will go to phase two work at the Holt Mansion in Breckinridge County. Those attending the event were able to see results of the phase one work, which renovated the exterior of the mansion.
State representative Dean Schamore noted it was the second time that the state has assisted with the renovation effort. The annual Community Day also featured re-enactors, artillery and infantry presentations and a first-time Civil War- period baseball game.
