Historical Society receives grant

The Idaho Humanities Council, the statewide nonprofit organization devoted to enhancing public awareness, appreciation and understanding of the humanities in Idaho, awarded $72,658 in grants to organizations and individuals at its fall board meeting in Boise.

Thirty-two awards include 20 grants for public humanities programs, five Research Fellowships, six Teacher Incentive Grants and one Planning Grant. The grants were supported in part by funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Idaho Humanities Council Education Endowment.

The Boundary County Historical Society received $2,000 to develop several interpretive panels for an exhibit on area agricultural history inside and outside the museum, featuring farm equipment and implements, photos, and more. The project director is Dottie D. Gray.
