The Dubuque County Historical Society (DCHS)’s Museums for All low-cost admission program recently received grant funding from two key Dubuque family foundations. The McDonough Foundation has provided $2,500 in grant support and the Wahlert Foundation has provided $3,000.

Funding from these long-standing philanthropic family foundations provide critical support for DCHS’s Museums for All low-cost admission program.

The Museums for All is a part of the nationwide program serving a network of 1,300 museums, zoos, aquariums, and botanical gardens, and serves approximately 9,000 low income individuals each year at The National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium and The Mathias Ham Historic Site.
