County Courthouse Restoration Grants in Prairie County


Among the many programs and services of the Ar- kansas Historic Preservation Program is the County Courthouse Restoration Grant Program. Created in 1989, this grant program has helped to extend the lives of courthouses that hold vital links to community pride and local history. Tese grants are funded through the Real Estate Transfer Tax, administered by the Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Council. Since the beginning of the program, the AHPP has awarded almost $16 million to 61 historic courthouses around the state for use in rehabilitating, preserving and protecting these important historic resources. Since 1994, Prairie County has re- ceived 15 grants totaling $286,929.
