Good afternoon!
The Clinton County Historical Society is applying for a 250MI grant to create a St Johns Railroad and Interurban exhibit at the Museum. We are very interested in working with local youth organizations (e.g. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, etc.) to participate in the planning and development of this important work. We would love to hear from folks that can make these connections or introductions for us. Although, the exhibit is based in St Johns, we are a county-wide organization and would encourage groups from anywhere in Clinton County to respond.
Looking forward to all of your assistance!
Thank you!
