The Historic Surplus Property Program is a partnership program to preserve and reuse Federal Historic Properties. The program enables state, county, and local governments to obtain historic buildings once used by the Federal government at no cost and to adapt them for new uses.
Federally-owned historic buildings that are no longer needed by the Federal government are declared surplus by the General Services Administration. The Department of Defense also uses the Historic Surplus Property Program to dispose of historic military bases that have been closed.
