The National Park Service has granted Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson a $750,000 Save America’s Treasures grant through the Historic Preservation Fund to help restore the Montgomery Place Mansion, a National Historic Landmark owned by the college.
The grant will support structural repairs to the exterior of the building in order to restore its integrity and resiliency for future preservation.
Montgomery Place, a 380-acre estate adjacent to the main college campus and overlooking the Hudson River, is set amid rolling lawns, woodlands and gardens, against a backdrop of the Catskill Mountains.
Established in 1977, the Historic Preservation Fund has provided more than $2 million in historic grants to states, tribes, local governments and nonprofit organizations.
