WASHINGTON D.C. — Congressman Walz is thrilled to announce the Winona County Historical Society, Inc is the recipient of a $39,177 National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Grant. The grant will fund their Identities in Brick and Stone: Society and the Built Environment on the Mississippi.
“This grant will invest in a long-term exhibition, audio walking tours and a website on the built environment of Winona County,” said Walz. “Identities in Brick and Stone is a great project because it will teach young and old about the human geography of Winona County.”
