Morris Museum, Tourism Bureau Granted $6K for New Endeavors

The Morris County Tourism Bureau and Morris Museum will have some much-needed funds to call on this year in order to implement two new programs.

Thanks to the Heritage Commission, the Tourism Bureau received $2,2665 to print brochures for the Revolutionary Times and New Jersey 350th anniversary programs.

The Morris Musuem received $4,000 to develop an online exhibit which will focus on its fashion collection.

Over the past 13 years, the Heritage Commission has awarded funds to projects like the printing of publications and the conservation of documents to history programs and equipment and projects to provide greater access to historic sites and collections.

“Without the financial support from the re-grant program, Morris County history organizations would not have been able to afford these projects,” said Peg Shultz, the commission’s acting director, in a statement.
