The Benton County Historical Society was recently awarded a nearly $2,000 grant from the Missouri Humanities Council, which it will use for a permanent display at its new museum, slated to open in April.
An affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the MHC works to foster connections between cultural organizations and humanities scholars through grants and support for local museums and libraries, among other programs. MHC Director Geoff Giglierano said he was impressed with the Benton County Historical Society’s proposal for the grant, saying it was “an easy choice” to award the money to the group.
