A simple guide to Preservation Month
May is Preservation Month! Celebrate it with us at Adventures in Preservation (AiP)
Established in 1973 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Preservation Month is co-sponsored by local preservation groups, State historical societies, business and civic organizations across the country.
During the month of May many events are planned to promote historic places for the purpose of instilling national and community pride, promoting heritage tourism, and showing the social and economic benefits of historic preservation. Thousands of people participate annually in Preservation Month celebrations.
AT AiP WE LOVE PRESERVATION MONTH!
Since 2001, we have become a leader in offering volunteer vacations directed toward saving distinctive architecture that defines a region’s history and culture.
The fact that historic preservation is innately “green” provides yet another compelling reason for restoring historic buildings for integrated community use, from affordable housing to community centers.
AiP’s staff and volunteers work with passion to save the world’s architectural heritage with the goal of benefiting communities worldwide. We are dedicated to bringing people and preservation together in meaningful partnerships.
