OGDENSBURG — Frederic Remington Art Museum is one of this year’s Preserve New York grantees. Their grant of $17,152 will fund the Kid’s Place Building Condition Report.

The Preservation League of NYS and their program partners at the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) are thrilled to help fund this important work. At its 2025 meeting, an independent panel selected 31 applicants in 20 counties to receive support totaling $347,500. Grants represent both of the League’s signature NYSCA regrants, Preserve New York (PNY) and Technical Assistance Grants (TAG).

“We are deeply grateful to the Preservation League of New York State and NYSCA for this support.” Said Maggie McKenna, Executive Director of the Frederic Remington Art Museum, “This grant will help us take important steps toward preserving and understanding our historic campus, ensuring that future generations can continue to experience the legacy of Frederic Remington.”

The grant will support a building condition report for Kid’s Place, the Eva Caten Remington Education Center, which serves as the Museum’s hub for youth and family programming. This study will guide necessary repairs and improvements to make the building safer, more functional, and more welcoming for all who visit, ensuring that Kid’s Place can continue to inspire creativity and learning for years to come.

“This year, the League has brought our two longstanding NYSCA partnership grants together into one cycle, allowing us to see a clear picture of the remarkable preservation work getting started across the state,” said Jay DiLorenzo, President of the Preservation League of NYS. “The targeted studies funded by TAG and the expansive reports made possible by PNY will lay the groundwork for many vital projects over the years to come.”
