Available upon request. Contact, grants@mnhs.org

Measurable Outcome(s)

SHORT TERM: The "Expected Impact" for the Short Term measurable impacts have been met. In addition, text for a seventh "Introduction" sign was developed as it was observed that it was needed to provide context for the other six signs. As a "Progress Indicator" the developed text and audio scripts have been forwarded to the Dodge County Historical Society to become part of the museums information that will become available to the public.

INTERMEDIATE TERM: The "Expected Impact" for the Intermediate Term has been met as the materials are currently available. Upon close out of this grant, the text and audio scripts will be utilized to develop a grant applicaiton (Phase II) for the fabrication and installation of the seven interpretive signs in the Wasioja Historic District.

LONG TERM: Long term goals have not yet been met, but Dodge County and Dodge County Historical Society are currently working towards these long term measurable outcomes.
