Community Conversation on Building Community through Historic Preservation

Description

We all have places that matter to us, bring us together, and tell our stories. Join America250 for a Community Conversation, Building Community through Historic Preservation on March 24, 2022 from 2:00 - 3:00 pm E.S.T.

“Historic preservation is a conversation with our past about our future. It provides us with opportunities to ask, "What is important in our history?" and "What parts of our past can we preserve for the future?" Through historic preservation, we look at history in different ways, ask different questions of the past, and learn new things about our history and ourselves. Historic preservation is an important way for us to transmit our understanding of the past to future generations.” – National Park Service

During this conversation, we will explore the importance of saving and interpreting buildings, neighborhoods, parks, and cultural heritage. We'll talk about how history, preservation, legacy, and education work together to build communities and create a sense of place. There will be time for questions from the attendees.

The Community Conversation series is a place to connect, to share the stories, and histories that helped shape America. It’s with your support that we can continue to have these conversations and explore themes that are important to our country. Consider supporting America 250 with a donation to the Foundation at america250.org/donate.
