Indiana Landmarks awarded more than $6 million to help save meaningful places in the state last year.
The grant money was sent to various non-profits for projects ranging from building repairs to programs, workshops, and more.
Money was awarded through seven grant programs: Black Heritage Preservation Program Grants, Efroymson Family Endangered Places Grants, Historic Preservation Education Grants, Indiana Automotive Grants, Indiana Modern Grants, Marion County Historic Preservation Fund, and Sacred Places Indiana Grants.
