Museum plans ‘Where Texas Ranching Began’ exhibit after receiving grant from NEH

Victoria College’s Museum of the Coastal Bend has plans for a 3,600-square-foot expansion project after receiving a grant of $583,750 from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The award is one of 32 recently made by the NEH’s Infrastructure and Capacity Building Challenge Grant Program. The grant will fund 50 % of the $1,167,500 expansion project, a component of VC’s current Facilities Master Plan. The remaining 50 % needed for the museum expansion will be met through fundraising.

The expansion will include a permanent exhibit at the museum titled “Where Texas Ranching Began.”
