Funded projects will preserve National Register listed cultural resources related to the founding of the nation. These grants are funded by the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF), administered by the NPS, and will fund physical preservation to National Register listed or eligible historic properties including buildings, sites, structures, objects, or historic districts.
