A $438,979 Infrastructure and Capacity Building Challenge Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) will help Historic Hudson Valley restore and dredge the millpond at Philipsburg Manor, a National Historic Landmark in Sleepy Hollow owned and operated by Historic Hudson Valley. The non-profit education organization uses the site to educate schoolchildren and adults about the history and impact of slavery in the colonial North. With this challenge grant, NEH requires Historic Hudson Valley to raise approximately $1.4 million in matching funds, nearly $400,000 of which has already been committed by several of its generous supporters.
