National Park Service and partner agencies announce $15.5 million in Save America’s Treasures grants
WASHINGTON – The National Park Service (NPS), in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute for Museum and Library Services today announced $15.5 million in Save America’s Treasures grants to help fund 49 projects in 29 states.
“From the Rose Bowl Stadium in California to Lucy the Elephant in New Jersey, the Save America’s Treasures program seeks to preserve and rehabilitate some of the most significant and iconic American structures and collections. Together with our partners, these grants help enable museums, states, Tribes, local governments, and nonprofits to fulfill their preservation work for future generations to experience, learn from, and enjoy,” said NPS Deputy Director Shawn Benge
Examples of projects being funded this year:  

  • In Connecticut, the Barnum Museum Foundation will repair 79 windows of the Barnum Museum, nationally significant for its association with its founder and benefactor P. T. Barnum, who reshaped American concepts of family entertainment and culture with the invention of the circus in the second half of the nineteenth century.
  • In Hawaii, the Friends of Iolani Palace will repair the roof of Iolani Palace, which was built in Honolulu in 1882 to celebrate and honor the independent and sovereign nation of the Kingdom of Hawaii. The palace represents the legacy and heritage of Native Hawaiians.

From 1999 to 2019, Save America’s Treasures has provided over $339 million to more than 1,300 projects to provide preservation and conservation work on nationally significant collections, artifacts, structures and sites. Requiring a dollar-for-dollar private match, these grants have leveraged more than $479 million in private investment and contributed more than 16,000 jobs to local and state economies. These awards of $15.5 million will leverage more than $20 million in private and public investment. Buildings and collections which have previously received Save America’s Treasures grants are not eligible to receive a second grant for the same project.
