Welcome, readers!
July 3rd, 2008Okay, this blog thing is brand new to me. I think it is a great way to have comments added from visitors to our website and a perfect way for us to let people know what is going on with our black horsemen exhibit and the brand new North Middletown Black Heritage Center!
The North Middletown Black Heritage Center (NMBHC) is an incorporated 501(c)(3) non profit, in North Middletown, Kentucky. The center is housed in an historic church, originally known as the African Church, and then known as the Second Christian Church. This church was built not long after the Civil War by former slaves. It is an impressive structure, but had fallen into some disrepair and neglect over the years. It is now being renovated to house a permanant exhibit on black horsemen, and will be a community center and family learning center. We have many plans for this historic building, including the expansion to include a park and playground area with a picnic shelter, future youth center.
We are in the fundraising stage now and are implementing a brick sidewalk fundraiser where donors can have a brick engraved with their loved ones name (or any engraving of their choice). This is a perfect way to memorialize our beloved black horsemen!
A minimum donation of $100 is necessary to have a brick engraved, but the good news is that all donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. For more information, email us at nmbhc.inc@gmail.com
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I look forward to having an active blog on www.blackhorsemen.com
