Bringing history to life Federal funding helps finance exhibition on female pioneers “We wanted to tell the story about female pioneers in South Australia specifically. We wanted to show how active they have been in making the State what it is.” That is the motivation, according to Millicent National Trust Museum secretary Chris Parmenter, to putting together the Women on Horseback, an exhibition earmarked for History Month, this
coming May. As a volunteer run museum, income has been a huge issue for the facility over the past two years. “Our only income is through the people through the door,” Mr Parmenter said. “We have lost a lot of income.” And that’s where the chance to apply for a Federal Government Culture, Heritage and Arts Regional
Tourism (CHART) program grant proved to be a lifeline for the organisation that has been planning the Women on Horseback exhibition since last year. The museum has garnered $2,649 from the $3million funding pool to help put the landmark exhibition together. “The funding from the CHART program will assist Millicent National
Trust Museum to develop an exhibition showcasing side saddles, Victorian riding habits and various accoutrements that relate to the history of women on horseback.” Mr Pasin said. See inside for full story
