Saunders Memorial Museum in Berryville recently received a $2,500 grant from Arkansas Heritage. The grant was one of 17 Small Museum and Arkansas Heritage grants awarded at Arkansas Heritage’s headquarters in Little Rock.
These grant programs provide awards to Arkansas’s small history museums, historical societies, historic houses and sites, and military museums. For this grant cycle, Arkansas Heritage awarded $55,600 to recipients from across the state.
These grant programs provide funds to help promote education, awareness and enjoyment of Arkansas history,” said Shea Lewis, director of the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism. “Our hope is that these funds will enrich current programs and provide inspiration for future activities, continuing to build momentum and energy.”
The Small Museum Grant Program aims to increase the ability of community-based small museums/ organizations to research, preserve, present and conserve Arkansas history.
