The Minnesota Historical Society Awards Cloquet Public Library a Historical and Cultural Heritage Grant

Without a concerted effort, our state’s historic and cultural treasures are in danger of being lost to time. The Minnesota Historical Society awarded a Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grant in the amount of $1,197 to the Cloquet Public Library to purchase the Minnesota History Bookshelf. The Minnesota History Bookshelf is a project of enduring value because it will enhance the public library’s collection of books on Minnesota history.
Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants are made possible by the Minnesota Legislature from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund created with passage of the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution in November 2008. The grants are awarded to support projects of enduring value for the cause of history and historic preservation across the state.
“It is wonderful to see so many communities and local organizations benefitting from the Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants,” said Britta Bloomberg, deputy state historic preservation officer.
