The Scott County Community Foundation is celebrating our 15-year anniversary this year. We will highlight monthly some of the scholarship and grant recipients, projects and organizations made possible through the existence of a community foundation in Scott County.
The Scott County Heritage Center and Museum was originally built in the late 1880’s as a county home, a place where mentally, physically and financially challenged people could live and care for themselves. The Scott County Home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 2000.
The purpose of the museum is to preserve Scott County’s history through education, cultural and civic programs.
Historic preservation is just one aspect of life in this area that the Scott County Community Foundation helps to bring focus upon The Scott County Community Foundation has been proud to support the museum over the years through grants and an endowment fund established for operations.
