🇺🇸🗝️The Ximenez-Fatio House Museum awarded $173,544 Semiquincentennial Grant from the Historic Preservation Fund by the National Park Service!

The circa 1798 historic house in St. Augustine, Florida is an original coquina structure

St. Augustine, FL — The Ximenez-Fatio House Museum is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded a $173,544 Semiquincentennial Grant from the Historic Preservation Fund administered by the National Park Service, Department of the Interior.

“This generous grant from the NPS is essential to the completion of our two-year conservation/preservation campaign to have our museum in its best condition in time for the 2026 Semiquincentennial Celebration of the Declaration of Independence,” said Payson Tilden, Executive Director of the Ximenez-Fatio House Museum.

“Our 226-year-old museum is one of only 31 remaining coquina and tabby structures in St. Augustine and we will be able to address the repair and restoration of many aspects of this remarkable building, showing visitors the craftsmanship needed to perform these very specific and unique processes which will preserve the building, its history, and its stories for many generations to come.”

The National Park Service has awarded $10M to historic sites and structures in nine states to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.

Created by Congress in 2020 and funded through the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF), Semiquincentennial Grants fund projects that restore and preserve sites and structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places that commemorate the founding of the nation.

Grants from this year will support 19 historic preservation projects across nine states, including the Ximenez-Fatio House Museum in St. Augustine, Florida.

“Since its founding, our nation has been shaped by an exceptionally diverse collection of cultures, events, and places” said National Park Service Director Chuck Sams. “The Semiquincentennial Grant Program supports our efforts to present a more complete telling of our country’s history as we approach its 250th anniversary in 2026, and beyond.”

Tours are available Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit ximenezfatiohouse.org
