The Kernstown Battlefield Association is in the process of preparing an American Battlefield
Protection Grant application in hopes offunding a Historic Structures Report on the Pritchard House
located on their property. The American Battlefield Protection Program is administered by the
National Park Service and provides funds through a competitive grant process for battlefield
preservation planning and educational efforts.
As some Board members are aware, the county has provided funding assistance to the KBA on
multiple occasions to assist with the purchase of the Kernstown Battlefield property. Total funding
from the county toward this effort exceeds $477,000.00. The county also acted as fiscal agent and
handled the administration of a past ABPP Grant which resulted in a Resource Management Plan
for the Kernstown property.
In conjunction with the current grant application process, KBA has requested a letter of support from
Frederick County. Attached is a resolution of support for the Board's consideration.
Please let me know if I can answer any questions.
