Grant Support for Collin County History Museum
The Collin County History Museum is a 501 (c) (3) and receives support through state and local grants.
The museum recently received a grant from the McKinney Convention and Visitor's Bureau to promote and assist in funding initiatives, activities or events that promote the City of McKinney as a tourism destination.
The museum was awarded a grant to purchase a Padcaster Studio to create digital content for our 2019 McKinney Then and Now Exhibit. In preparation for this exhibit, the museum will conduct video interviews with the owners of current businesses in Historic Downtown McKinney during January-August 2018. These interviews will showcase the unique businesses and highlight the historical heritage of the buildings in which they are located. The videos created from these interviews will be used to help attract visitors to downtown McKinney.
The digital video collection will be uploaded to our YouTube and Vimeo Channels. It will be linked to the museum webpage. The interviews will also be used as part of the interactive portion of the 2019 Then and Now Exhibit.
