PIERRE — Historic preservation projects in Aberdeen, Dell Rapids, Garretson, Geddes, Pierre and Vermillion recently were awarded matching grants from the South Dakota State Historical Society.
The grants are awarded through the State Historical Society’s Deadwood Fund grant program. Funding for the program is from Deadwood gaming revenue earmarked by state law for historic preservation projects throughout the state. The program is administered by the society’s State Historic Preservation Office in Pierre.
“This historic preservation grants program is designed to encourage restoration or rehabilitation of historic properties and is one more way we can promote and protect our history and culture,” said Jenna Carlson Dietmeier, interim state historic preservation officer.
The following projects were the most recent to be awarded grants to supplement their work:
These new recipients represent a total award amount of $75,000. These figures will be included in the 2024 year-end totals. Deadwood Fund grants are awarded twice a year with grant application deadlines of Feb. 1 and Oct. 1.
They are reviewed at the spring and winter meetings of the State Historical Society’s board of trustees. For more information on the Deadwood Fund grant program, contact the State Historic Preservation Office in Pierre at 605-773-3458 or history.sd.gov/preservation/fundingopportunities.aspx.
