About the company
Athens County Historical Society, a woman-owned nonprofit tax-exempt organization based in Athens, Ohio, receives federal grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the National Endowment for the Humanities to develop educational field trip programs, historic documentation projects, and heritage tourism initiatives serving K–12 students and local communities across Athens County and southeast Ohio.
The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it holds no federal contracts and does not function as a subcontractor. Its three recent awards span September 2023 to September 2026 and total $292 thousand in combined federal funding. Two awards originate with the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the Museums for America program (CFDA 45.301); one award comes from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The organization's most recent award, dated September 1, 2026, is a $198,606 Museums for America project grant running through December 31, 2027, to develop a comprehensive field trip program and curriculum serving kindergarten through sixth-grade students across Athens County in partnership with seven local arts and cultural organizations. The curriculum will align with Ohio's learning standards, incorporate content from all project partners, and include a pilot program launching in two school districts. A prior Museums for America award dated September 1, 2023, funded inventory and preservation work on the Southeast Ohio History Center's collection of more than 70,000 three-dimensional objects, including textiles, archaeological material, military collections, and industrial-history items, through March 31, 2025. A third award, dated March 1, 2024, from the National Endowment for the Humanities, supported the "Invisible Ground" project, expanding immersive augmented-reality and audio-storytelling historic markers into Nelsonville and the Little Cities of Black Diamond region of southeast Ohio, with completion by December 31, 2024.
