LINCOLN HERITAGE EDUCATION GRANTS

Lincoln Heritage Education Grants are available through the Kentucky Historical Society. Grants are available to K-12 public or private schools in the state for field trips to Abraham Lincoln sites. Mini-grants (up to $350) are available for field trips to designated Lincoln sites, including the Mary Todd Lincoln House. To apply for a grant to fund a field trip, visit the Kentucky Historical Society website at www.history.ky.gov

"Mary Goes To School" EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

In an effort to reach more children, we are taking Mary on the road through our educational program “Mary Goes to School.” The program brings first person interpretation directly to 4th and 5th graders across Kentucky. Thanks to funding from Toyota Motor Manufacturing of Kentucky, grants are available for schools outside of the Central Kentucky region, schools that very rarely are able to organize field trips to the museum itself. The program is also available for $150 locally. Additional travel expenses may apply. For further information please call 233-9999 or download the application packet now.   Mary Goes to School Grant Application
