Two groups of funding will go towards the building of the proposed Mississippi Native American Museum at the former Leonard’s Building in downtown Kosciusko.
The Kosciusko Board of Aldermen provided a memorandum of understanding for $500K in funds from the state and approved a certificate of acceptance from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History for an additional $500K.
