Watson-Brown grant to help replant Callaway Plantation fields

Erica Bettross, (front left ) president of the Watson-Brown Foundation junior board, presents a grant check to Callaway Plantation's Olivia Jackson recently as Michelle Zupan (back, left) Dave VanHart, and Chamber of Commerce Director Ashley Barnett look on. The funds will be used to plant cotton and other crops in a demonstration plot on the Plantation. "We're glad to be able to work with Callaway," Zupan said. "They do so much with so little." The Foundation supports historic preservation in part through its Junior Board, a talented group of local high school students whose exclusive mission is to preserve local history. The Junior Board awards $25,000 in grants annually to historic preservation projects in Georgia and South Carolina. During the school year, the Junior Board conducts research, pre-grant inquiries, and site visits.
