Preservation Month 2007

HISTORIC SEATTLE CELEBRATES PRESERVATION MONTH 2007

Historic Seattle invites you to help us celebrate Preservation Month 2007 in May with a series of local events.  National Preservation Month serves as a showcase for our country’s diverse heritage and has been celebrated for over thirty years.  Our commemoration of Seattle's unique heritage is part of a larger celebration.  To learn more about the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the month-long schedule of activities going on nationwide, visit www.nationaltrust.org

Thousands of state and local community groups will honor their distinct histories with events that bring historic preservation to the forefront of Americans’ daily lives by emphasizing the vital importance of protecting our nation’s past.  In Seattle and elsewhere, historic preservation is an effective tool for managing growth, revitalizing neighborhoods, fostering local pride, and maintaining community character while enhancing livability.

Historic preservation is relevant for Seattleites of all ages, all walks of life and all ethnic backgrounds.  Historic Seattle feels it is especially important to celebrate the role of history in our lives and the contributions made by dedicated individuals in helping to preserve the tangible aspects of the heritage that has shaped our community.  Please help us to recognize local historic preservation and participate in this special observance.

Historic Seattle has compiled the following list of free or low costs lectures, tours, and special events throughout Seattle that are planned during May. Take the opportunity to learn about architecture, parks, and neighborhoods. Become a tourist in your own city
