THF Surpasses $1.6 l
At its recent spring meeting, the Texas Historical
Foundation board awarded grants to support the fol-
lowing projects:
* Chandler Historical Museum, Inc., Chandler, will
use THF funds to paint, with a mildew resistant prod-
uct, the home of the late United States Senator (and na-
tive son) Ralph Yarborough. The politician's 1890's resi-
dence serves as a visitor complex, museum, and event
center.
* The Heritage Society, Houston, received assistance
for the documentary Home Front: Texas in World War
II. The film will document how the influx of military
bases and personnel transformed Texas from a predom-
inately rural to an urban state.
* Remember the Alamo Foundation, San Antonio,
won support for conservation of one of the seven origi-
nal cannons from The Alamo. These represent a por-
tion of the 21 pieces of artillery used at the 1836 battle.
Since the cannons were returned to the site, between
1905 and the 1990s, no conservation plan has been in
place.
Deadlines for upcoming 2018 grant proposal submis-
sions, which are reviewed quarterly, are June 1 and Sep-
tember 1.
