Contact the Hawkins (Wisconsin) Area Historical Society.
They are attached to the public library. One woman wrote a grant for
$300,000 to build the library AND rooms for the historical society.

Subject: List Serve FW: New Museum Funds question
FW from list serve member - please respond with your experience and/or
suggestions:
I am the president of the Blue Mounds Area Historical Society. We have
been in existence for about 5 years and yet to have our own building,
however the opportunity has come to us to be part of a new village hall
here in our community. We need to fund our part of the building ( a
display room and work room) and have been told by Senator Feingold's
office that there are grants out there to help us, but no specific
information. This would be new construction, which is exciting as we
will be able to plan some needed features. Does anyone have any
experience with this process and/or know of any specific grant programs
for historical societies that would help with this?
We need to have some firm plans in place for funding ideas before our
village's Economic Planning Commission meeting next month.
Thank you for any help that you can provide.
Cindy Downs
President
Blue Mounds Area Historical Society
