The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission is pleased to announce the selected projects for the 2024-2025 Keystone Grant program. The grant program again saw a 6% increase in the number of applications over last year with requests over $6,510,000. It is gratifying to know that the program serves our partners well and can react to serve their needs. The grant program is just one of the PA-SHPO’s tool to support both planning initiatives and capital projects at historic sites throughout Pennsylvania.
