May is National Historic Preservation Month!

May is National Historic Preservation Month and it's an opportunity for communities to reflect on significant places, artifacts, and collections that help tell the stories of our past.

If you are looking for ways to tie into the National celebration of historic preservation, here are some resources below:

  *   National Trust for Historic Preservation, Preservation Month 2023<https://savingplaces.org/stories/preservation-month-2023> - includes a digital marketing kit and free GIF stickers.
