The Eddyville Community Foundation/Rocket Booster Club received a $10,000 grant from the Mahaska County Community Foundation for 2026.
The grant will be a part of the Preserving History through the Rocket Solutions program. It will be a powerful way to honor and celebrate the community’s legacy.
By digitizing and showcasing artifacts such as trophies, yearbooks, athletic achievements, academic milestones, music awards, consumer science, FFA awards, and history of the schools this will preserve records of the past and save them for the future.
The mainframe and monitor will be located at the EBF High School, and all this history will be available on a website that will be accessible to anyone nationwide on their own personal computers, I-pads, or phones.
Mahaska County Community Foundation believes in helping the community with improvements in many ways. They help non-profits and aim to enhance community life through innovative projects. We say Thank-You for choosing us to preserve our history.
