Save America's Treasures program

The Save America's Treasures program was a federal initiative launched in 1998 to preserve and protect the United States’ historically significant buildings, artifacts, and cultural sites. It provided funding to restore landmarks, museums, and collections that are vital to the nation’s heritage. Managed by the National Park Service, the program aimed to ensure these treasures are maintained for future generations, promoting national pride and education. By focusing on preservation rather than new construction, it helped conserve vital parts of America’s history and cultural identity.
