Wasioja Historic District Interpretive Sign Audio Program
To hire qualified professionals to record audio narratives to accompany Dodge County's Wasioja Historic District's interpretive signage.
$5,982,000 the first year and $7,000,000 the second year are for statewide historic and cultural grants to local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources. Money must be distributed through a competitive grant process. The Minnesota Historical Society must administer the money using established grant mechanisms, with assistance from the advisory committee created under Laws 2009, chapter 172, article 4, section 2, subdivision 4, paragraph (b), item (ii).

Short Term- These goals were achieved ahead of schedule and slightly under budget. The recordings are part of the Dodge County Historical Society's museum information which will be available to the public.
Intermediate Term- The goals are in process and on schedule. The audio recordings produced in Phase 3 will be used to submit a MHS Small Grant application for Phase 4, which involves fabrication and installation of the interpretive signs. This application will be submitted prior to the October 2023 deadline.
Long-Term - This goal is in process and on-going. With the recent funding of the stabilization of the Seminary Ruins through the bonding bill, Dodge County will continue to promote the history, culture and tourism within Dodge County and revitalization of the Wasioja Historic District.
