Friends of Thorntown Public Library and Sugar Creek Historical Society Receive Heritage Grants

Transcription

1 Volume 24, Issue 9 September 2018 Friends of Thorntown Public Library and Sugar Creek Historical Society Receive Heritage Grants Efforts to preserve local history are getting a boost from the Indiana Historical Society's (IHS's) statewide Heritage Support Grant program. IHS is proud to award grants to Friends of Thorntown Public Library, Inc., and Sugar Creek Historical Society, Inc. The funding comes from the fifth round of IHS's Heritage Support Grant program, made possible by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. Since the program's launch in 2016, grant funds from the Endowment have allowed IHS to award an average of $500,000 per grant cycle to organizations in 53 of Indiana's 92 counties. This is the first Heritage Support Grant for Friends of Thorntown Public Library. The organization will receive $10,000 to replace the roof of the Thorntown Heritage Museum, located at 124 W. Main St. in Thorntown. The Thorntown Heritage Museum is maintained by the Sugar Creek Historical Society, which also received its first Heritage Support Grant. Unique among this round of grant recipients, the organization received $15,000 to continue restoration work that began with an Eagle Scout project. Western Boone High School graduate Reece Thompson's project led to a study and the restoration of headstones at Thorntown Colored Cemetery, located west of Thorntown on County Road 825 West. The new funding will help add a fence and a historic marker.
