Lost Towns Project Awarded SHINE Grant from Maryland Humanities!

We are grateful to be one of 50 Maryland nonprofit organizations to receive $10,000 in general operating funding from Maryland Humanities’ SHINE Program (Strengthening the Humanities Investment in Nonprofits for Equity).

As a very small volunteer-based non-profit, grant funding is critical to our ability to provide history and archaeology research and programming to our community. In 2023, we are excited to continue our volunteer and intern programs, documenting historical and archaeological sites, preserving historic cemeteries, providing interactive fieldtrips for middle school students, and more.
