Somerset County Historic Preservation Program Grant
March 14, 2021
On Tuesday, March 14, Somerset County Commissioner Melanie Marano presented a ceremonial check in the amount of $20,808 to SSAAM’s Board President, John B. Buck, in front of the County’s Historic Courthouse. This check represents our Somerset County Historic Preservation Program Grant award for general operating support.
Also present was Natalie Zaman, Program Coordinator for the Somerset County Cultural and Heritage Commission, and Lisa Krueger, Public Information Manager.
SSAAM is very grateful for this grant award, which is made possible by funds from the Somerset County Cultural & Heritage Commission, a partner of the New Jersey Historical Commission.
We have produced a new a 34"x44" geophysical map for SSAAM, depicting the important African American historical/cultural sites of New Jersey's Sourland region. Created by SSAAM board member and GIS analyst Kevin Burkman, the map is being distributed to local schools as part of our education/out-reach programs.
We hope to eventually exhibit it at the future museum!
