The FHC is pleased to announce that it has received a $5,000 grant from the Framingham Co-operative Charitable Foundation matching a previous donation of $5,000 from Foundation for Metrowest. Both of these donations will fund our Civil War in Framingham 2011 initiative. Last week a group of 30 volunteers convened at the Edgell Memorial Library to begin planning for the Civil War Sesquicentennial which kicks off in April of 2011. A museum education consultant will be hired with this grant funding to help volunteers and staff develop Civil War exhibitions and programs using the FHC collections, buildings, and stories as well as the town’s sites related to the era of this great conflict.
