Upper Mississippi Gaming Grant Thanks

Upper Mississippi Gaming Corporation Awards Grant to Guttenberg Heritage Society

Guttenberg Heritage Society would like to thank and acknowledge the generosity of the Upper Mississippi Gaming Corporation Board in awarding our cause a funding grant.

The funds will make it possible to  develop a new interpretive exhibit experience focused on preserving and sharing the rich history, heritage, and stories of Guttenberg, Iowa. This foundational exhibit project will transform two gallery spaces in the Welcome Center into engaging educational environments that celebrate the people, industries, culture, and historical significance of the community. Through strategic exhibit planning and historical storytelling, the project will utilize professionally designed interpretive panels, dimensional PVC elements, vinyl graphics, and exhibit displays to create an immersive and visually cohesive visitor experience that educates residents and visitors alike while preserving the community’s legacy for future generations.

Clayton County Womenade would like to thank and acknowledge the generosity of the Upper Mississippi Gaming Commission Board in awarding our cause a funding grant. The funds will make it possible to help so many more of our neighbors that just need a Hand UP, not a Hand out. This non-profit organization of concerned citizens awards funds requested by designated agencies from Clayton County to help with rent, utilities, transportation, basic needs and other unexpected expenses resulting from illness, injury, divorce, domestic abuse, job loss, etc. when other funding sources are unavailable or have been exhausted. There is no overhead, all donations made to the organization go directly to helping those in need.  The organization relies on donations of members and other concerned citizens "paying it forward". Donations may be made by check payable to Clayton County Womenade at or mailed to Peoples State Bank in Guttenberg, PO Box 430, Guttenberg, IA 52052 or by PayPal by entering womenade@alpinecom.net as the recipient.
