The Bartholomew County Historical Society has received a $50,000 grant from the Indiana Historical Society’s statewide Heritage Support Grant program.
The grant is made possible by a grant the state historical society received from the Lilly Endowment. The Indiana Historical Society has awarded an average of $500,000 per grant cycle to organizations in 53 of Indiana’s 92 counties.
This is the first grant to the Bartholomew County Historical Society. The organization said the funds will be used to develop a new exhibit titled “Sharing the Heritage of Bartholomew County,” to be on display at the historical society’s museum at 524 Third St. in Columbus.
The design and installation is expected to be completed by the summer of 2019.
