The National Park Service (NPS) awarded Canterbury Shaker Village Inc. $835,080 through the Save America's Treasures program (CFDA 15.929) on September 23, 2025, to stabilize and seal the building exterior at the historic Canterbury Shaker Village site in Canterbury, New Hampshire. This project grant funds physical preservation work on nationally significant historic structures and requires a dollar-for-dollar non-federal match (cash or documented in-kind contributions) from the awardee. The project has an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2029.

Save America's Treasures, administered by the NPS in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), provides matching grants through competitive merit-based review to preserve and conserve nationally significant historic properties and collections. Eligible beneficiaries include states, tribes, local governments, and nonprofit organizations. The program evaluates proposals based on national significance, threat level, mitigation of threat, and project feasibility. Canterbury Shaker Village Inc., a nonprofit steward of one of the largest collections of Shaker artifacts and archives, demonstrated the requisite qualifications as an eligible federal grant recipient to execute this exterior preservation initiative.
