Heritage Preservation Grants

Spotlighted Project: Parish Rectory Construction Documents
The grant project funded the construction documents needed to preserve the St. Nicolas Parish School and Rectory in Carver, a historic 1876 landmark built of local Merriam red stone. The work prepared the building for essential exterior repairs, including masonry restoration, tuckpointing, and window-sill replacement, helping ensure this part of the Carver Historic District remained strong in the future.

For generations, the parish reflected the changing communities it served, and it continues that tradition, welcoming worshippers in both English and Spanish masses. Supporting the construction documents was an important first step in protecting this historic building and sustaining its role in parish life for years to come.
Recipient: St. Nicholas Catholic Church
Amount Funded: $9,750

Weaving it All Together: Recapping the Textile Cataloging Project
My name is Linnea, and for the past seven months I have been working on a grant-funded project at Hennepin History Museum. The goal of this project was to catalog a portion of the museum's textile collection while rehousing objects and preparing materials for greater public access. I began this project in February of 2025, documenting three hundred textile objects over four phases: cataloging, photography, research, and interpretation. Over the course of these phases, I moved from documenting physical objects to uncovering the stories behind them, and through this, reshaped my personal relationship with the place I call home. 

The first phase was cataloging; this involved recording an object's material composition, its measurements, condition, and overall appearance. Accurate cataloging ensures that objects are not only physically preserved, but also retrievable and usable for future research, exhibitions, and public engagement. I assigned each object a unique number. Continue Reading »
