Typically known as
the Fourth of July and
Independence Day,
July 4th has been a
federal holiday in the
United States since
1941, but the tradition
of Independence Day
celebrations goes
back to the 18th century and the American Revolution (1775-1783).
In June 1776, representatives of the 13 colonies, then fighting in the
revolutionary struggle, weighed a resolution that would declare their
independence from Great Britain.
On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence,
and two days later its delegates adopted the Declaration of Independ-
ence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson.

BRNHA Offering Grants for Regional Heritage Projects
Since 2004, the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area Partnership has awarded 154 grants totaling over $2.1 million to projects that preserve, interpret, and develop
the heritage resources of the region. These awards have leveraged over $4.5 mil-
lion in matching contributions from the state, local governments, and the private sector.
We are pleased to offer another round of grants this fall. Applications are due Octo-
ber 1 and applicants will be notified by Feb. 1, 2019. Funds for the Blue Ridge Na-tional Heritage Area's matching grants program are provided by the federal govern-
ment through the National Park Service.
The maximum grant award is $16,000. Applicants must provide at least a one-to-one match from non-federal sources.
Of particular interest are projects that are regional or multi-county in scope, involve
active partnerships between organizations, and leverage substantial matches from project participants and other grantors.
BRNHA staff will hold several grant information sessions around the BRNHA region in July 2018. Attendance is optional, but is recommended for those who have not
attended information sessions for previous BRNHA grant cycles.
Please review the grant guidelines on the BRNHA website and RSVP to Rob Bell ([email protected] or 828-296-7230, ext. 229) if you plan to attend a
session.
The date for the Rutherford County meeting is: Rutherfordton
