Woodville Announces Porch Restoration Project
If you’ve been to Woodville, you know the iconic front porch with its decorative lattice. Like any older building, Woodville needs periodic maintenance. Right now, its graceful front porch is in desperate need of restoration and so we are seeking grants and donations to do this work for which the estimate is $42,000.

Woodville Archaeology and Archives Update
In July 2022, I returned to Woodville for the first time in two years to complete archival research for my dissertation. I came to study the Sarah Wrenshaw steinmark Papers, a collection of several thousand documents dated ca. 1790 to 1970 detailing the lives of the Cowan and Wrenshaw families of Woodville.

"Old' Buildings, New at Woodville!
Visitors who haven’t been to Woodville in a few years may notice some changes on the property. In addition to the circa 1810 barn that was moved to the site in 2020, the plantation has made several changes and improvements to many of the buildings on the property.
Pittsburgh’s business community made an impact. Seeing these buildings light up gave people hope, helped people feel seen, made people feel accepted. One person posted on Facebook, “This is AMAZING!!!! Maybe next year we can get Philly and other cities/towns to do this. This brings tears to my eyes!! It’s so important in spreading awareness!!!”
