National Heritage Areas are places where natural, cultural, historic and scenic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape arising from human activity shaped by geography.
These patterns make National Heritage Areas representative of the national experience through the
physical features that remain and the traditions that have evolved in them.
These regions are acknowledged by Congress for their capacity to tell nationally important stories about our nation.
This Task Agreement focuses on partnership development, operational support, organization capacity building, public outreach, heritage programs and grant projects that are identified in the management plan for the NRGNHA and serve a public purpose under Public Law No.
