During April Board Meeting
At its spring meeting in the beautiful,
quaint Hill Country town of Fredericksburg,
April 23-24, the Texas Historical Foundation
Board of Directors awarded three
preservation grants.
* The Republic of Texas Museum in
Austin. The Daughters of the Republic of
Texas received a grant for remodeling and
reconstruction of existing former office
and storage spaces into gallery areas for the
exhibition of guns, weapons, and related
items from the museum collection. The
Museum, because of space and security
considerations, had been forced to place
its outstanding collection of early 19th
and 20th century firearms in storage. The
THF grant will mean that now the firearm
collection will be available for public
viewing.
* The Texas Forestry Museum in
Lufkin. The Museum was granted funds
to develop a pilot project to gather information
and compile a database of basic
facts pertaining to historic and currently
operating mills in East Texas. A concerted
effort to collect data during the summer
and fall of 1993, and continued efforts by
volunteers, is expected to result in a large
database of information that is rapidly
being lost that can now be shared by
regional entities and preserved for future
generations.
* Moore-Hancock Farmstead in Austin.
Mike and Karen Collins, who won a
THF Preservation Award in 1992 for their
restoration of three buildings in the
Rosedale neighborhood of Austin, (see
story, HERITAGE, Spring 1991), received
a grant to contract with an archaeologist
to classify the artifacts they have collected
at the site into appropriate analytical categories.
The collection will be permanently
curated at the Texas Archeological Research
Center at the University of Texas
and will be available for study by students
and professionals
The Texas Historical Foundation Board
of Directors will have their next meeting in
Austin on July 23-24.22 HERITAGE * SUMMER 1993
