The Historic Preservation Movement

The Historic Preservation Movement is a response to the rapid changes and development in our built environment that often threaten historic buildings and sites. It aims to protect, conserve, and celebrate structures and places of cultural, architectural, or historical significance. This movement advocates for maintaining the integrity of these sites, ensuring they are valued not only for their beauty but also for their stories and contributions to local and national heritage. Preservation efforts help foster community identity, promote tourism, and educate future generations about history and culture.
