(Versailles, Ind.) – A grant will allow archaeologist to study a site in Versailles State Park.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology has awarded 11 federal grants last week. 

Ball State University will receive a grant of $51,871 to conduct a survey of approximately 80 acres around historic homestead sites identified within Versailles State Park.

The survey will help tell the story of the early planned settlement which was one of the first in Indiana.

The federal grant funds come from the National Park Service, which distributes funds to states through the Historic Preservation Fund Program. Since 1974, the state has awarded more than $18 million to Indiana communities.
