What We Do
|
What Programs Does the Support Group Fund?
While the President James K. Polk State Historic Site is a state-owned museum, most of the educational programs and special events for school children and adults are funded by the support group's member dues. In the past, the Friends of President Polk's Birthplace have funded summer camps and field trip experiences for children, special events like the President James K. Polk Birthday Celebration and Music, Dance 'n Que Fest, and programs like Historic Cooking with Cheryl Henry and Bubble Day! The Polk Site also receives leadership support from a board comprised of support group members. |
