BCM receives Kentucky Local History Trust Fund grant for preservation of Civil War artifacts


Behringer-Crawford Museum recently received a Kentucky Local History Trust Fund grant which supports the efforts of local history organizations to preserve and share Kentucky stories.

The award of $2,474.34 is being used towards the purchase of gun safes from Tri-State Lock in Florence, to better preserve Civil War weaponry and valuable artifacts at the museum.

The Kentucky Local History Trust Fund is a tax option allowing Kentuckians to donate a portion of their state income tax refund via Line 38f. As the administrator of the fund, KHS has awarded nearly 50 local history organizations to date, with a total of $65,522 distributed across the commonwealth.
