Projects: Small Towns, Big Impact

The Mississippi Hills National Heritage Area grant program funds projects within the northeast portion of the state. These projects contribute to the mission of preserving, enhancing, interpreting, and promoting the cultural and heritage assets of the Mississippi Hills.

Every project funded by the Hills incorporates one or more or our primary interpretive themes, which are: African American heritage; Civil War history; Native American heritage; and Music & Literature.

From murals that depict the history of a town to trailhead sculptures or necessary repairs to save a national literary landmark, our grant funding makes a big impact in the communities we serve throughout the Mississippi Hills.
