  • Another round of federal cuts is hitting home in the Quad-Cities. This time, they're targeting cultural institutions like the Putnam Museum.

The Federal budget cuts announced on May 6, 2025, have led to the elimination of funding for the Putnam Museum's traveling Civil Rights exhibit in the Quad Cities, as reported by KWQC.
