Judy Pruden Historical Preservation Fund
This memorial fund was opened by Judy’s husband, Mike Morgan. Judy was a long-term member of the Ukiah Planning Commission and over the past several decades was active in preserving the city’s history and historic buildings. This fund makes grants to community-based projects that involve the public (all ages) in the understanding and appreciation of Mendocino County’s history.
Previous grants have gone to Mendocino Study Club printing a walking historic Mendocino brochure; Kelley House Museum changing modular exhibits; Ukiah Main Street program printing historic downtown Ukiah walking tour brochure; Friends of Observatory Park developing interpretive materials; Mendocino County Museum’s Main Street exhibit; The Mendocino Woodlands Camp Association history brochures; the Fort Bragg Mendocino Coast Historical Society for the preservation and digitization of H.H. Wonacott Panoramic Negatives and audio visual technology improvements; and the Arts Council of Mendocino County to support the “Back to the Land” oral history project.
