Funding for heritage places
Designations have a number of advantages, including access to funding programs to preserve, rehabilitate or restore the heritage value of a historic place.
National cost-sharing program for heritage places
The National Cost-Sharing Program for Heritage Places makes funding assistance available to owners and long-term lessees of federally-designated heritage places for their conservation and presentation. Eligible heritage places include those that have been formally recognized by the federal government such as national historic sites, heritage buildings, heritage railway stations, and heritage lighthouses.
