Description
Indiana Humanities and Indiana Landmarks offer Historic Preservation Education Grants to Indiana-based tax-exempt organizations, with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The program helps Indiana residents understand historic places and properties, appreciate their community’s landmarks, and recognize the value of preserving and protecting them.
Supported formats include workshops, presentations, booklets, brochures, reading and discussion programs, exhibitions, and film documentaries. The partners also encourage digital projects—including online exhibits, webinars, and podcasts—that broaden access to preservation education. Past projects include hands-on preservation workshops, architectural walking tours, research and presentations about historic campus buildings, and a virtual tour of the Marie Webster House. The focus is public education rather than construction, renovation, or other physical preservation work.
