10th Anniversary Video

The Ebey's Forever Grant Program was established as a means of supporting the preservation, rehabilitation, and continued use of heritage buildings within the Reserve.

One of the difficult issues facing the still-working landscape of the Reserve has been an accelerating loss of the significant historic buildings that represent the “unbroken record" the Reserve was created to protect.

More than 40 barns, outbuildings and farmhouses that date back to the 1850s have disappeared in the last four decades. 

The Trust Board's preservation programs and partnerships, like the Ebey's Forever Grant Program, ensure the historical legacy of our community remains an integral element of the evolving landscape. 

To date, over one hundred historic structures have received often critical funding for brick-and-mortar preservation work through this program. As a result, more than two million dollars has been invested directly into the continued life of these irreplaceable buildings. Not only is this money circulated back into the local economy, but all the grant funding for the work is raised through private donation - one neighbor to another.

​Overall, the Ebey’s Forever Grant Program serves as an inspiring example of how a vibrant community can keep its history alive through community-driven heritage preservation.

Thank you for your stewardship.
