Two area organizations are among 10 receiving grants from the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism for historic properties and museums. The Calico Rock Community Foundation and the Newton County Historical Society will each be awarded $2,500.
The Calico Rock Community Foundation will use its funds toward operating expenses for the Calico Rock Museum and Visitor Center. The Newton County Historical Society’s grant will be used for 2022 utilities at the Bradley House Museum in Jasper.
Funded by the 1/8th-cent conservation tax, the awards help small history museums, historical societies, historic houses and sites and military museums promote education, awareness and enjoyment of Arkansas history.
The deadline for the next cycle of grant applications is Oct. 20. Awards are granted twice per year. For more information about the Small Museum Grants Program, contact Arkansas Heritage Grants Manager Debra Fithen at 501-324-9150 or debra.fithen@arkansas.gov.
