The Milwaukee Preservation Alliance (MPA) recently announced that it has raised enough funds to secure a $5,000 matching grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The accomplishment brings the total funds raised to $15,000, marking the halfway point of MPA's Wayfinding and Awareness Campaign.

MPA's Wayfinding and Awareness Campaign will fund the purchase and installation of Department of Transportation (DOT) signage along Interstate Highway 94 and interpretive signage along the Hank Aaron State Trail for the Milwaukee Soldiers Home National Historic Landmark District (Soldiers Home), one of Milwaukee's most important historic landmarks. The campaign is a part of a broader effort led by MPA, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and other local preservation and veteran groups, to raise awareness of the Soldiers Home Historic District and promote the rehabilitation of key historic buildings in order to return them to the service of veterans.
