国家公园管理局为建国250周年拨款1190万美元：26处历史遗址获修缮资助，1752年老宅在列
美国国家公园管理局通过「建国250周年拨款计划」向全美26个历史保护项目发放共1190万美元资助，用于修缮与美国建国相关的历史建筑和遗址。这笔钱来自历史保护基金，资金来源是外大陆架油气租赁收入，不用纳税人的钱。
这项计划由国会于2020年设立，专门支持已列入《国家历史遗址名录》的建筑、遗址、构筑物与历史街区的实体修缮，申请方可以是州、部落、地方政府和非营利机构。2025与2026两个财年的拨款合计11,907,000美元，单个项目资助额从1.5万美元到75万美元不等，竞争性评审，不要求申请方配套出资，但有配套资金会在评审中占优。
获资助的项目之一在马萨诸塞州 Hadley：Porter-Phelps-Huntington 基金会拿到224,855美元，修缮一栋建于1752年、名为「四十英亩」（Forty Acres）的老宅的屋顶和地下室。这栋宅子是 Hadley 镇中心之外建起的第一栋房子，同一个家族连续居住近两百年，1940年代起改作博物馆，1973年列入《国家历史遗址名录》，馆内收藏的家具、信件与日记记录了这个家族八代人的生活。
国家公园管理局说，这类拨款修的是与建国年代直接相关的实物遗存，赶在2026年美国建国250周年之际集中完成一批修缮，让这些列入名录的老建筑能以更好的状态迎接纪念年。

National Park Service Awards $11.9 Million in 250th Anniversary Preservation Grants to 26 Sites, Including a Massachusetts House Built in 1752
The National Park Service has awarded a total of $11.9 million through its Semiquincentennial Grant Program to 26 historic preservation projects across the United States, funding repairs to buildings and sites associated with the founding of the nation. The money comes from the Historic Preservation Fund, which is financed by Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas lease revenues rather than tax dollars.
Congress created the program in 2020 to support the physical preservation of properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places, including buildings, sites, structures, objects and historic districts, with states, Tribes, local governments and nonprofit organizations eligible to apply. Congress appropriated $11,907,000 for the fiscal 2025 and 2026 rounds combined. Individual awards range from $15,000 to $750,000, are made through a competitive process, and do not require a non-federal match, although matching funds can be a competitive factor.
One recipient is in Hadley, Massachusetts, where the Porter-Phelps-Huntington Foundation received $224,855 for roof and cellar work on a house built in 1752 and known as Forty Acres. The house was the first built outside Hadley's town center, was occupied by one extended family for nearly two centuries, and was converted into a museum in the 1940s. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and its collections of furniture, letters and diaries document eight generations of the family.
The Park Service says the grants fund hands-on preservation of cultural resources tied to the nation's founding, with this round of work timed to the United States' 250th anniversary in 2026, so that listed properties can mark the anniversary year in better condition.
