Grant to Fund Upcoming Museum "Andersonians in War" Exhibit

The Anderson County Museum (ACM) recently received a grant from the Veteran’s Trust Fund of South Carolina. The $12,228 grant will be used for the design phase of the ACMs next permanent exhibit "Andersonians in War." 

“Andersonians in War" will showcase the stories and experiences of the veterans of Anderson County dating from the Spanish American War in 1898 through current day conflicts,” said Beverly Childs, executive director of the ACM. “The exhibit will educate our visitors about the patriotism of Anderson County and our veterans by revealing their stories in a meaningful way.” The exhibit is planned to open in late 2020. 

The Veterans’ Trust Fund of South Carolina was established to serve the veterans of South Carolina by initiating and assisting established veteran supported programs to enhance the quality of life of our veterans and their families. The Veterans’ Trust Fund Board of Trustees emphasizes the education of South Carolina citizens of the values of patriotism and service to our Nation, for veterans’ sacrifices made on behalf of our freedom. In so doing, provides financial assistance through the awarding of grants for worthy causes that benefit the veterans of South Carolina.
