What Is Historic Preservation?
Local landmarks, in the form of buildings, structures, and sites, collectively form
our cultural heritage. Recognizing this cultural heritage is important to honor the
past and to understand the present and future. Historic preservation seeks to
continually identify, preserve and protect landmarks that make up our cultural
heritage for our use, education, observation, and pleasure. Historic preservation
is present on national, state and local levels.
