The National Park Service awarded a $1,859,058 Project Grant to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation under the Historic Preservation Fund Grants-In-Aid program (CFDA 15.904). The grant will support rehabilitation of masonry on various buildings and structures at Old Fort Niagara in Youngstown, NY from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025. Old Fort Niagara was strategically important in controlling the Great Lakes region from the 18th century through the War of 1812. The site preserves 18th century military architecture and one of the most extensive archaeological collections linked to an 18th century fort. This grant funding will help rehabilitate historic masonry to maintain the site's ability to interpret cross-cultural interactions and significance in North American history. The grantee will provide $1.35 million in non-federal matching funds to support project activities.
