Provide a summary of the project or program:
           In the year 2000, the Hungarian Settlement Historical Society was formed with the mission of renovating an old school building into the Hungarian Settlement Historical Museum. The organization secured a 50-year renewable lease on the land and the building from the Livingston Parish School Board. The building was in a state of disrepair. Since then, the exterior and interior of the building have been renovated. The renovation was financed through Louisiana Capital Outlay Grants, Livingston Parish Tourist Commission Grants, LGAP Grants, Hungary Initiatives Foundation Grants and the Hungarian Settlement Historical Society fundraisers. We are currently seeking funds to replace the old windows with energy efficient windows, to install a standby generator to protect the artifacts during lengthy power outages from mold and mildew and to add under-floor insulation.
