Americana Corner boosts docent program

We are pleased to announce the Discovery Expedition of St. Charles is a 2024 Preserving America Grant awardee! Funds from the grant are going toward our expanding docent program, featuring costumed re-enactors, expanded historical research and hands-on displays.

In honor of George Washington’s birthday, Americana Corner awarded more than $1.4 million in grant funding to 121 organizations across 29 states and the District of Columbia. Visit the website for a complete list of grant recipients.

Americana Corner was founded by Tom Hand in 2020 as an online resource to help others rediscover America’s incredible founding and first century of expansion. From the American Revolution to the settlement of the American West, from the Declaration of Independence to the Emancipation Proclamation, and from George Washington to Abraham Lincoln, Americana Corner contains positive stories of the great events, founding documents, and inspirational leaders who helped create and shape our country. Perhaps most importantly, Tom discusses why these events and people from so long ago still matter to us today
