Preserving Bristol’s History

October 2023 - Published in: 2023 Fall Newsletter - The preservation of history is an important and often overlooked aspect of maintaining and improving our vibrant communities, which is why MSCF is proud to support a restoration project at the Memorial Military Museum. MSCF awarded a $2,500 grant to the Memorial Military Museum with distributions from the Bristol Brass General Grant Fund and the Karen and Kim Murphy Family Charitable Fund. The grant supports the restoration of two WWII leather flight jackets that belonged to Bristol residents Warren Beach and Raymond Rich, and the preservation of these jackets will help ensure their memory and honor their service for years to come. The Memorial Military Museum is a place for the community to learn about Bristol’s military history and promotes historical knowledge through their collection of military memorabilia. You can visit the Memorial Military Museum, located inside the Bristol Historical Society, at 98 Summer Street, Bristol.
