A couple of local historical organizations are among those to be awarded recent state grant funding.
The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission recently awarded a total of nearly $4 million statewide in Cultural and Historical Support Grants to 182 institutions across 60 counties.
The Butler County Historical Society has been awarded over $9,000 while Historic Harmony will receive $6,000.
The goal of this program is to strengthen the state’s museums by supporting operations of eligible organizations that are not supported by other state agency funding programs.
An eligible museum must have an annual operating budget exceeding $100,000 and at least one full-time professional staff person.
