The Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) is pleased to announce a new round of funding is available for owners of historic barns in Washington State.

The funding, allocated by the Washington State Legislature as part of the 2025-2027 state budget, marks the 10th round of Heritage Barn Initiative grants. Originally established in 2007, the Heritage Barn Initiative, is a Register of statewide, historically significant barns. Owners of designated heritage barns are eligible to apply for grants to assist with barn stabilization and rehabilitation projects. This year, approximately $900,000 is available in funding. Grant awards typically range from $25,000-$40,000, with the maximum eligible grant award capped at $75,000. The deadline to submit applications for Heritage Barn Initiative grants is Sunday, October 19, 2025, at 11:59 pm.
The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation and DAHP will be hosting free online information sessions on September 5, at 4:00-5:00 pm and September 10, at 5:30-6:30 pm for anyone wishing to learn more about the Heritage Barn Initiative.
