Historic preservation is more than saving old buildings and artifacts. Preservation protects and promotes the places that tell the stories of our collective past. The champions are the men and women of all ages and backgrounds, who give their time, talent, and passion to be the guardians of our history. Learn about the preservation projects and their champions to whom we have awarded matching grants this year! Together, we preserve the places and stories that make Idaho such a gem.

The Idaho Heritage Trust is grateful to gift $136,550 to 23 communities across 18 counties in Idaho! 71% was given to communities with populations less than 5,000 residents.
