Hi Kasey,
Your state should have some grants available through your Humanities
Council or Arts Council for programming, though very rarely for bricks and
mortar projects.  There is also the listings on Preservation
Directory.com,<http://www.preservationdirectory.com/PreservationGeneralResources/GrantsFundingSources.aspx>
Grants.gov, The National Endowment for the
Humanities<http://www.neh.gov/grants>;
your state museum, historical society, or heritage council should also have
some grant opportunities.  You can also check out the
AAM<http://www.aam-us.org/about-us/grants-awards-and-competitions>
, IMLS <http://www.imls.gov/applicants/available_grants.aspx>, and other
professional organizations.  The Foundation
Center<http://foundationcenter.org/>has a lot of opportunities to sort
through but you might find what you are
looking for.  One local resource that I always check with is my county,
city or town foundation, for example the Springfield
Foundation<http://www.springfieldfoundation.org/>(of Springfield,
Ohio), provides grants to non-profit organizations that
fit its mission.  Your state may have a foundations directory that could be
found on the list at the Foundation Center
here<http://foundationcenter.org/getstarted/topical/sl_dir.html>.
I've also found just quick searches in google with your state, county,
and/or city name + the words "grantmakers" "grants" and "funding."
I hope that helps!
Best,
Melissa
