Understanding Historic Preservation: Architecture, Material Selection, and Community
Older buildings are essential for a community’s identity, aesthetics, and development. Property owners, historic preservation commissioners, and city planners often work together to maintain the integrity of historic structures and neighborhoods so that they meet the needs of modern society. But, what is historic preservation? How are restoration or rehabilitation decisions made? Where can compromises be made and who has the final say in what happens to a building?
Whether you own an historic property, are a commissioner or city staff member, developer, realtor, or just curious about old buildings, this educational series will provide participants with a deeper understanding about historic properties, the restoration process, and their importance in local communities.
Join us for a series of workshops and networking opportunities in 2026. Register for one or all sessions. Participants will experience the following:
*Quality training sessions for historic preservation commissioners and city staff so that they can serve as resources to preservationists and investors while striving to preserve the unique history of their communities.
*Lively conversations about what it means to live and work in historic structures for owners, potential investors, and realtors.
*An environment where participants can learn together and meet peers from other communities to exchange ideas and network.
*A welcoming educational opportunity for learners from all backgrounds interested in historic preservation.
All sessions are free of charge. Snacks are provided. To register, go to www.butterworthcenter.com
