Historic Preservation

Historic preservation is a link through which the memory of a community is preserved and passed onto succeeding generations. By definition, historic preservation is the thoughtful management of buildings, sites, structures, objects and landscapes. Preservation can be a tool for economic development or a mechanism to maintain a community's individual identify and personality. Our historic resources enable us to make sense of our past, which helps us to better understand our present, and ultimately guide us in wise planning for our future.
