The National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States (NTHP) was awarded a $499,566 Project Grant by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) under the Promotion of the Humanities Public Programs (CFDA 45.164) to support research and reinterpretation at five National Trust historic sites. The grant will advance equity and reconciliation through new humanities perspectives developed with input from descendant communities at Shadows on the Teche in Louisiana, Woodlawn in Virginia, the President Wilson House in Washington D.C., Chesterwood in Massachusetts, and Cooper Molera in California. Key deliverables include completion of research and community engagement to inform reinterpretation of the sites, expected to sustain 17 staff positions and employ 7 humanities consultants. The intended beneficiaries are visitors to the five properties and descendants of indigenous, Latinx, and African American communities once present at the sites. Other historic sites may also benefit from the models developed for advancing equity and reconciliation. No subawards are planned under this award.
