Freedom’s Frontier NHA grant awarded to Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes

The Lowell  Milken Center for Unsung Heroes is excited to announce that we have received $1,000 in grant funding from Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area. The award will help replace the Unsung Hero Window Clings on the south side of the building overlooking the Unsung Heroes Park. Norm Conard, Executive Director of the Center said “We are happy to be partnering with Freedom’s Frontier and look forward to working with them again in the future!” The Milken Center is open daily, except for Sundays, but the park is always accessible with stories of eleven unsung heroes to read about and learn from. Visitors are always welcome!

The Lowell Milken Center is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) that works with students and educators within a range of diverse academic disciplines, to develop projects focused on unsung heroes. Our mission is to share those projects and the stories of these unsung heroes with our community and the world through our museum and special cultural events.

Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area (FFNHA) is a federally funded nonprofit organization and affiliate of the National Park Service dedicated to building awareness of the struggle for freedom along the Missouri-Kansas border. Established by Congress in 2006, its nationally significant themes are the settlement of the frontier, the Missouri-Kansas Border War and Civil War, and the enduring struggle for freedom. These diverse, interwoven, and nationally important stories grew from a unique physical and cultural landscape. FFNHA inspires respect for multiple perspectives and empowers residents to preserve and share these stories. We achieve our goals through interpretation, preservation, conservation, and education for all residents and visitors.
