Grant Information
Grants from Organizations make Museum Possible

The Holley Museum of Military History is a dream come true for the founder of the museum Jerry Holley. The collecting of the artifacts took place over some 30 years. The museum for most of the time was located in Holley's basement.

A little over two years ago the dream started to unfold as Mr. Jim Parrish, the Chairman and founder of the Parrish Hotel Corporation offered Holley five rooms at Parrish's Downtown Topeka Ramada Hotel and Convention Center.

The first three galleries were open on April 1, 2006. The final two galleries opened in mid-June 2008.

The dream coming true is because of the generously of not only Mr. Parrish but a number of fine Grant organizations. Besides the organizations listed below there was also an anonymous gift from a World War two Veteran who saw plenty of action in that war.

The Holley Museum of Miitary History thanks all of the good people affiliated with these organizaitons for making possible this museum.
