Battlefields: $579,000 for maintenance projects in the Richmond National Battlefield Park and $563,000 for the Petersburg National Battlefield.
  Historic sites: $94,000 to replace the heating and cooling system at Maggie L. Walker’s historic house, which also will have deteriorating exterior woodwork repaired or replaced.
  Wildlife: $1.95 million for the Chincoteague, Rappahannock and Back Bay wildlife refuges, the Harrison Lake National Fish Hatchery, removal of two dams in western Virginia, and support for two other fish and wildlife programs in the state.

Harrison Lake National Fish Hatchery was created during the Depression with a water-supply system dating to the late 18th century. And that’s what the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is still using today at the Charles City County hatchery, which is helping stock Virginia’s rivers with American shad, nursing a fledgling sturgeon fishery and restoring endangered mussels to state tributaries.
