Grants To Preserve Local History Across State

Last updated on Tuesday, September 25, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS) - The DNR helps strengthen Indiana’s historical and cultural heritage through annual federal grants it administers to local communities and not-for-profit groups that these organizations put toward preservation projects.

This year, the DNR Division of Historic Preservation & Archaeology (DHPA) has awarded 11 federal grants for historic preservation and archaeology in Indiana communities (see list). The grants, totaling $476,696, provide a match of $512,545 in local and private funds, for a total projected investment of $989,241.

The funds come from the National Park Service, a part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, which distributes federal funds to the states through the Historic Preservation Fund Program. Since 1974, the state has awarded more than $18 million to Indiana communities through this program. Read the entire list.
