About the company
Mccreary County Heritage Foundation, Inc., doing business as Mccreary County Museum, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Stearns, Kentucky, that receives federal grants as a prime recipient to fund historic preservation, museum restoration, and community economic revitalization in the McCreary County region. The Foundation operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it holds no federal contracts and does not bid on procurement vehicles.
The Foundation's award footprint centers on rural economic development and cultural heritage preservation. The top two funding sources are the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (2 awards) and the Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Services (1 award), alongside grants from the Department of the Interior Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, the Corporation for National and Community Service, and the Appalachian Regional Commission. The Foundation's primary recent work includes a $4.5 million Project Grant from EDA's Economic Adjustment Assistance program (award date August 16, 2022, completion December 16, 2025) for restoring the McCreary County Museum and revitalizing the historic district in the coal mining community of Stearns, with improvements including walks, drainage, paving, signage, and amenities designed to build tourism and cultural assets. An earlier grant from the Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Services (July 2021) supported rural business cooperative opportunity development. The Foundation also appears as a sub-recipient on a February 2025 award from Kentucky's Energy & Environment Cabinet for economic revitalization through RV park and campground development.
Activity is sparse and episodic across the six-award portfolio spanning 2009 to 2025, with combined obligated dollars of $11.2 million. The Foundation's role is exclusively recipient-side economic development and cultural heritage stewardship, with no procurement or contractor relationships in the federal footprint.
