The John J. Snyder, Jr. Historic Preservation Fund

The John J. Snyder, Jr. Fund for Historic Preservation is a distinct fund providing for the restoration, maintenance, and repair of historical structures in Lancaster and Cumberland counties. Grant funds may be used for many of the “unglamorous things” necessary to sustain a documented historical structure owned by a community benefit organization, so that it may be preserved for future generations.

Since 2014, the John J. Snyder, Jr. Fund has helped projects such as repointing, roof repair and replacement, electrical system repair and replacement, general restoration, maintenance, and repair of historical buildings owned by nonprofit community benefit organizations across Lancaster County.
