  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. This exhibit, which was set to educate the public on significant civil rights events and figures, will no longer be able to tour due to the lack of financial support. The decision has sparked disappointment among local community members and educators who viewed the exhibit as a vital educational resource. Museum officials are now exploring alternative funding options, including private donations and grants, in hopes of reviving the project.
