Crow Wing County Receives Historical and Cultural Grants
(ST. PAUL) — State Representative John Ward (DFL – Brainerd) is pleased to announce that Crow Wing County has received $6,800 in grant money. This Historical and Cultural Grant is funded by the Minnesota Legacy Amendment from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008.
This grant money will allow the Crow Wing County to conduct a reconnaissance archaeological survey of a pre-historic portage trail.
In the 2011 Legislative Session, the legislature appropriated a total of $5.25 million for partnership grants “for history programs and projects…or for activities to preserve significant historic or cultural resources.” The Minnesota Historical Society then established procedures to award grant funds through extensive public input and a competitive grant process.
“Our area is rich with history and culture, and we haven’t even investigated and studied all of it yet,” said Rep. Ward. “Projects like this one will help us learn more about our past and preserve it for future generations. I want to thank and congratulate Crow Wing County for their great work in securing this grant money.”
