Grant Description

Planning grants for Interpreting America's Historic Places may be used by organizations to develop in detail the content, interpretive approach, and specific components of projects prior to implementation. Applicants for planning grants should already have defined the appropriate humanities content and themes in consultation with scholars and programming advisers. About Interpreting America's Historic Places Planning grants are being offered as part of the Interpreting America's Historic Places program, which supports public humanities projects that exploit the evocative power of historic places to address themes and issues central to American history and culture. Projects may interpret a single historic site or house, a series of sites, an entire neighborhood, a town or community, or a larger geographical region. The place taken as a whole must be significant to American history and the project must convey its historic importance to visitors. The goals of Interpreting America's Historic Places are to: * enhance lifelong learning in American history by connecting nationally significant events, people, ideas, stories and traditions with specific places; * foster the development of interpretive programs for the public that address central events, themes and issues in American history; and * encourage consultation with humanities scholars and history organizations in the development of heritage tourism destinations.
