The Trumbull County Historical Society (TCHS) received a $119,250 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Challenge Grants program (CFDA 45.130) to expand the Morgan History Center in Warren, Ohio. The grant will fund the construction of a new museum-quality collections storage facility, training center, research room, welcome center/gift shop, and rotating exhibit gallery, building onto the existing c. 1894 Morgan History Center building. Funds will be used for construction, consultant fees for collections and facilities oversight, and exhibit equipment. The project is expected to be completed by November 30, 2026. This federal funding will allow TCHS to significantly enhance the center's capacity to preserve and interpret the history of Warren and Trumbull County for the local community.
