Thanks
to an extremely generous offer from the Tennessee Historical Commission, for
every $4 you donate we will receive $6. In
honor and recognition of Black History Month, we are launching a campaign this
year asking for your financial support to preserve one of the few remaining
historically black landmarks in Tennessee.
“Our
Federal Historic Preservation Fund grant program is one of the main ways the
Tennessee Historical Commission makes meaningful contributions to the
protection and study of our state’s treasured historic places,” said Patrick
McIntyre, State Historic Preservation Officer, and Executive Director. The
Federal Historic Preservation Fund provides 60 percent of the project costs
with a 40 percent match of project funds from the grantee supporters.
Make
any size donation to develop phase two of this outdoor interpretive educational
complex to provide jobs and attract tourism dollars in our county and state. Please
share this letter with your friends and family.
State
Representative Bruce Griffey echoes our intention, “…the Moore Family Century Farm is
one of the last few remaining historic African American farms in the country. I
feel that the preservation of this state treasure and the documentation of the
generations of honorable family members that lived and worked there, is of
vital importance for the edification of ours and future generations of
Tennesseans. I thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration of this
worthy project and urge you to approve any needed funding for this historic
landmark.”
