MPA Receives $20,000 Steel-Reese Foundation Grant
The Touchstone Project: Saving Montana's Small Town Heritage
   
MPA is delighted to announce that we have received a $20,000 grant from the Steele-Reese Foundation. With these and other matching funds, MPA will launch Saving Montana’s Small Town Heritage, a two year project to assist people in our smallest, most rural communities as they work to preserve their cultural heritage and their threatened historic properties.
This project will launch a highly innovative, direct assistance program through which we will collect stories, rescue historic materials, create a digital archive and set up a repository for each in a historic community building. MPA staff pioneered this approach in recent years, to aid small communities that are trying to preserve their heritage but struggle due to limited funds and capacity to carry out such efforts.

Each year since 2001, MPA calls attention to exceptional places in Montana’s history that are threatened with serious preservation challenges. Our experienced preservation professionals hope to collaborate with communities to chart a new course and breathe new life into these cherished Montana places. This year, three specific properties and one thematic group of resources are included: the Story Mill Complex in Bozeman, Chief Cliff in Elmo, Boston & Montana/Anaconda Company Barn in Great Falls, and Montana’s Endangered Historic Schools, statewide.
