Richard H. Driehaus Foundation National Preservation Award for Hinchliffe Stadium
Richard H. Driehaus Foundation National Preservation Award: Hinchliffe Stadium
Hinchliffe Stadium is one of two remaining Negro League ballparks that has faced multiple threats against its preservation. Through an overall $100 million redevelopment project within the Great Falls National Historic Park, the stadium was revitalized using multiple sources of funding to not only preserve the site, but also transform it into a vibrant community space and economic driver. The Stadium has come a long way since it was listed on America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places in 2010.
This Richard H. Driehaus Foundation National Preservation Award was presented on October 28, 2024 at PastForward in New Orleans, Louisiana.
