May is Preservation Month: Making Preservation Work!

The National Trust for Historic Preservation will commemorate the third annual National Preservation Month in May 2007. And while the theme of this year’s National Preservation Month—Making Preservation Work—is new, the idea behind preservation month remains the same; celebrating the country’s diverse and irreplaceable heritage by participating in local events throughout the nation. Throughout May, the National Trust and its thousands of partners across the country will demonstrate the importance of our nation’s heritage as we focus on many aspects of the preservation movement, including historic travel, heritage education, historic homeownership, and community revitalization. Local celebrations will highlight their unique culture and traditions, and the National Trust strongly encourages people to participate in National Preservation Month events being held in their communities.
