Pictured: A fall 2018 Community Needs Grant to the Hinckley Historical Society was used for an emergency brick replacement project. With the new bricking in place, the danger of falling brick and windows has been eliminated. The historic structure once again gives an inviting look to the museum and downtown Hinckley.
