History Fund Awards Grant to SunWatch Indian Village

Dayton Society of Natural History received $16,000 to reconstruct the thatched roof of Big House, the central exhibit of SunWatch Indian Village/Archeological Park, a National Historic Landmark. The project will enable SunWatch to again use the Big House for school and public programs and will be conducted while SunWatch is open to the public, allowing visitors to watch the construction process. This award was one of ten made in 2014.

Please support the History Fund with a generous donation on your state income tax form! This appeal is urgent. By law, the History Fund must receive at least $150,000 this year for the program to continue.

History Fund supports grants for archaeology, but only if you donate a portion of your tax refund!

Over the last few years, the Ohio Archaeological Council worked very hard to get Ohio’s History Fund implemented. Since then, more than 33,000 Ohioans have made archaeology, history, and historic preservation a priority by giving to the History Fund, conveniently located on Ohio's state income tax form. It is critical that you support this program. If the History Fund does not raise $150,000 this year or next year, by law the program will be terminated. Important archaeology projects have been funded by this program, so please remember to include a donation to the History Fund on your Ohio income tax form for 2013. Learn more about this critical fund and how you can help here.
