Douglas County approves six Heritage Grant projects
The Douglas County Commission approved six projects for the Heritage Grant Program, totaling nearly 300000 dollars. Funds will support renovations at the Eudora Community Museum and a core exhibit at Watkins Museum, a Wakarusa River Valley Museum addition, relocation of the 1892 Lecompton City Jail, a Free State Dinner Train in Baldwin City, and renovations to the Clearfield School. Commissioner Jim Flory objected to funding the dinner train and the Watkins Museum.
