Four projects recently received grants from the Sangamon County Historical Society to fund special projects that help preserve and promote local history.

The William G. Pomeroy Foundation of Syracuse, New York, has awarded the Illinois State Historical Society a $40,000 grant to erect 25 new historical markers over the next three years. The markers, which were outlined in an ISHS initiative last summer, will commemorate African-American, Native American, and women’s history around the state.

The Sangamon County Historical Society is now taking applications for funding historic special projects within the county that carry out its mission, which is to preserve and promote interest in the history of Sangamon County.

The Madison County Historical Society (MCHS) is pleased to announce the receipt of two grants that will assist with operations and programming.
