The 9th and 10th Horse Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers Museum will receive $291,000 through a Project Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the Museum Grants for African American History and Culture program. The funding will support the design and installation of five learning stations to enhance the visitor experience and understanding of the history and contributions of America's Buffalo Soldiers from 1866 to 1944. A newly hired preservation and museum specialist will work with the U.S. Army Center for Military History and historians at Joint Base Lewis-McChord to compile research, consult with Tacoma Public Schools on education standards, and coordinate the design, building, and testing of the stations. The learning stations will provide visitors of all backgrounds with modern educational tools to promote community conversations around American history, service to country, citizenship, and other relevant topics. The period of performance is July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024.
