LINCOLN — A 98-year-old flour mill and a ballroom in Schuyler are among the recipients of federal grants for preserving structures on the National Register of Historic Places.
Six projects will share in $328,000 worth of grants allocated by History Nebraska for communities of populations under 30,000.
The Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grants will be used for:
- Repairs and accessibility construction to the porch of the Alfred H. and Sarah Frahm House in Fort Calhoun.

- HVAC replacement, roof replacement and interior and exterior repairs at the Oak Ballroom in Schuyler.
- Roof replacement for the Wauneta Roller Mills, which closed, reportedly temporarily, a year ago.
Nebraska was among 12 applicants to receive the Paul Bruhn grants, named for a former executive director of the Preservation Trust of Vermont. A total of $7 million was awarded nationwide.
