Field Note

History advocates from across the state participated in History Matters Day at the Capitol on Monday, March 6. After hearing opening remarks from MNHS Director and Chief Executive Officer Kent Whitworth and Director of Public Policy & Government Relations David Kelliher, people went out to visit with their legislators to share the importance of history and thank them for their support of the Legacy funds. Here Liz Koele and Melinda Hutchinson staff a table for Local History Services and Grants.
