2m in Mississippi Historic Site Preservation Grants Awarded The Mississippi Department of Archives and History(MDAH) has announced the 2023 grantees for theMississippi Historic Site Preservation Grant(MHSPG) program. In 2021, the Legislature authorized the creation of the MHSPG program to acquire sites related to Civil War battles, Native American archaeology, and civil rights history.
These funds will allow endangered and significant properties to be preserved. Funds in the MHSPG program are used to defray costs for land acquisition to protect historic properties. A one-to-one match is required.
For example, an organization receiving $50,000 from MDAH must provide $50,000 in matching funds or other eligible equivalent, which cannot be from other state sources. The fund will only provide up to fifty percent of the appraised value of the property. Colleges and universities, historical societies, state agencies, local governments, and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations are eligible to apply.
“For over 20 years, the state legislature has offered generous support for Community Heritage Preservation Grant funding, which has aided in the rehabilitation of hundreds of Mississippi's historic courthouses, schools, and other landmark buildings,” said Barry White, director of the Historic Preservation Division at MDAH.
“This new MHSPG program builds upon our role in preservation by assisting our partners with the acquisition of significant historic properties. These grants elevate Mississippi’s capability to preserve the historic integrity of these properties, tell their broader stories, and attract new visitors.
” A receiving property may have significance in more than one area, such as a battlefield with a recorded archaeological site within its boundaries, which will be taken into consideration in scoring applications. In addition, the property must have been previously recognized as significant.
It must be individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places, listed in the 1993 Civil War Sites Advisory Commission Report on the Nation’s Civil War Battlefields, or identified as nationally significant in a National Park Service Special Resource Study.
The grantee sites for this year are as follows: **Howell Tract, Prentiss County, American Battlefield Trust**- $375,000 This tract is within the Core and Study Areas of the Brice's Crossroads battlefield. **Pendleton Tract, Hinds County, American Battlefield Trust**- $539,000 This tract is within the Core Area of the Champion Hill battlefield.
It consists of six continuous tracts, the loss of which could endanger the access to the proposed Champion Hill unit of Vicksburg National Military Park. **Harmon Tract, Alcorn County, American Battlefield Trust** - $110,000 This tract is within the Core and Study Areas of the Corinth battlefield. It is almost entirely unimproved and features extant Civil War earthworks.
The property is within the legislative boundaries of Shiloh National Military Park, and the National Park Service is actively pursuing its acquisition. **Buford Tract, Warren County, American Battlefield Trust**- $50,000 This tract is within the Core Area of the Chickasaw Bayou battlefield and is threatened by development in Vicksburg. The property will be subject to a day-of restoration and transferred to the Friends of Vicksburg.
Chickasaw Bayou is currently one of the least protected of Mississippi’s battlefields. **Jones Tract, Warren County, American Battlefield Trust** - $30,000 This tract is within the Core Area of the Chickasaw Bayou battlefield. **Shiers Tract, Warren County, American Battlefield Trust** - $67,500 This tract is within the Core Area of the Chickasaw Bayou battlefield.
The property is in danger of being sold to commercial interests for reuse. **Wilson Tract, Warren County, American Battlefield Trust** - $52,500 This tract is within the Core Area of the Chickasaw Bayou battlefield. For more information call 601-576-6940, or emailinfo@mdah.

Community Heritage Program Community Heritage Preservation Grant Program Mississippi Historic Site Preservation Grant Program ## MDAH Receives $458K NEH Grant for State History, Civil Rights Museums The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has awarded a $458,007 grant to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) from the Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan (SHARP) program.
The SHARP grant was created to help cultural and educational institutions recover from the economic impact of the pandemic. Funding for this grant is used to retain and rehire workers, as well as reopen sites, facilities, and programs.
“The American Rescue Plan recognizes that the cultural and educational sectors are essential components of the United States economy and civic life, vital to the health and resilience of American communities,” said NEH Acting Chairman Adam Wolfson.
“These new grants will provide a lifeline to the country’s colleges and universities, museums, libraries, archives, historical sites and societies, save thousands of jobs in the humanities placed at risk by the pandemic, and help bring economic recovery to cultural and educational institutions and those they serve.
” MDAH plans to use the funding from the SHARP grant to cover operating cost at the Museum of Mississippi History and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum as well as expand its digital engagement initiative. “We are grateful to our state’s congressional delegation and the Mississippi Humanities Council for their help and support during the pandemic,” said MDAH director Katie Blount.
“These funds will help us expand our public programs and outreach as we emerge from covid. ” The Museum of Mississippi History opened alongside the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in 2017 to celebrate the state's bicentennial. The Museum of Mississippi History explores the entire sweep of the state's history.
The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum explores the period from 1945 to 1976, when Mississippi was ground zero for the Civil Rights Movement nationally. The Two Mississippi Museums are administered by MDAH.

Certified Local Government Community Heritage Program ## Natchez Outbuilding Survey Awarded NPS Grant The National Park Service (NPS) has awarded the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) $50,000 in support of the Natchez Outbuilding Survey, a study of nineteenth-century structures built adjacent to antebellum houses in the Natchez area.
Of particular focus are the living quarters of enslaved persons and the kitchens, smokehouses, and agricultural buildings where they labored. The Natchez Outbuilding Survey is a partnership between MDAH and the Historic Natchez Foundation. The money from the NPS Underrepresented Communities Grant will be used to hire a consultant to prepare a National Register of Historic Places nomination.
MDAH will issue a request for proposals for the project this month, and the work is expected to be completed in 2023. “The information gathered through the Natchez Outbuilding Survey has deepened our understanding of nineteenth-century life in Mississippi and the architecture of slavery in the Natchez region,” said MDAH director Katie Blount.
“We are especially grateful for our partnership with the Historic Natchez Foundation, and we are thankful to the National Park Service for funding this initiative. ” “The Historic Natchez Foundation is thrilled that MDAH has received an Underrepresented Community Grant from the National Park Service for the Natchez Outbuilding project,” said Carter Burns, executive director of the Historic Natchez Foundation.
“We are proud to partner with MDAH on this important endeavor to document and study more than 150 of these structures, which are closely associated with the lives of enslaved African Americans. This grant recognizes the importance of these sites by enabling their nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
” The Natchez Outbuilding Survey has uncovered information about how enslaved people moved within their environments through examinations of slave outbuildings floorplans, the location of windows and doors, circulation patterns between the outbuildings and the main house, and lines of sight between buildings.
“This thematic nomination will place the important collection of Natchez outbuildings into a national conversation about the landscapes of slavery and servitude,” said MDAH chief architectural historian Jennifer Baughn. “We can see how owners designed control mechanisms for supervision, but also how enslaved people could carve out spaces where they had some agency.
” Natchez was the location of the Forks of the Road, one of the largest slave markets in the United States. Wealthy planters, who accumulated their wealth through slave labor, built what architectural historians have termed “suburban villas” in the town. Enslaved people lived in housing detached from the villas.
Researchers estimate Natchez has the largest concentration of slave-related sites in the nation. By preserving Mississippi's diverse historic resources, and sharing them with people around the world, MDAH inspires discovery of stories that connect our lives and shape our future.
