Hamilton Receives Essex Heritage Partnership Grant

HAMILTON, MA — The town of Hamilton is one of 12 recipients of the Essex National Heritage Commission's 2020 Partnership grants. Over the next year, the 12 grant recipients will be working to implement a diverse range of educational, interpretive, and preservation projects throughout Boston’s North Shore and the Merrimack Valley.

“We recognize the importance of supporting local organizations and we are proud that we are able to award twelve partnership grants again this year” said Annie Harris, Essex Heritage CEO, “Over the 22-year life of the program we have provided grants to every community in Essex County – and we know that this seed money greatly impacts the region by leveraging more investments in the Essex National Heritage Area.”

Hamilton will use the grant to improve wayfinding and accessibility on the grounds and share Patton family history of the property. This will be achieved through a multi-faceted process which includes trail and grounds maintenance, interpretive aides, and accessibility improvement projects.
