The Henricus Foundation announced last week that it has been awarded a $10,000 environmental stewardship grant from The Dominion Foundation – the charitable arm of Dominion Resources – for educational programs that include study of the James River watershed at Henricus Historical Park.
“Our unparalleled education programs are designed to ignite a passion for history, heritage, and [the]culture [s]of both the Virginia Indians and of the newly arrived English settlers,” Executive Director Charlie Grant stated. “We educate thousands of children every year, and without the financial support of our community partners, we would not be able to accomplish this impressive feat.”
A popular destination for school children and families alike, the park offers a glimpse of life at an English fort and Indian settlement 400 years ago.
