Preservation Month 2015

May was National Preservation Month, and the Heritage Alliance participated in the “This Place Matters” campaign.  (Scroll down for pics.)  We also shared some great blogs from the National Trust for Historic Preservation.  The first series, “Why Do Old Places Matter?” was written by Tom Mayes.  He covered such examples as Economics, Continuity, Memory, and much more.  Check his blogs out here.  The other series, “How to Save a Place,” contains great info on becoming an advocate for a threatened piece of history, raising awareness, and much more.  You can check out the “How to best online casino Save a Place” series by clicking here.
