Defiance Area Foundation Awards Grant to Huber Opera House

The Defiance Area Foundation is proud to support the continued preservation and enhancement of one of our community’s treasured historic spaces, The Huber Opera House and Civic Center in Hicksville, Ohio.

During our 2026 Spring Grant Cycle, the Foundation awarded a $6,250 grant to the Huber Opera House for stage floor replacement, helping provide a more professional appearance for productions and performances hosted throughout the year.

The arts play an important role in strengthening our community, bringing people together, inspiring creativity, and preserving local history for future generations. We are grateful for the work the Huber Opera House continues to do in Downtown Hicksville and across our region.
