2016 Preservation Month in Boston
May 1-31, 2016 |
May is National Historic Preservation Month ~
In Boston, Preservation Month is led by the Boston Landmarks Commission, the city’s preservation planning agency. 2016's theme is “Keep the Change” to promote preservation as tool to manage – not stop – the changes that improve and advance our city while protecting its historic fabric and character for future generations. From new construction in historic districts to adaptive reuse utilizing historic tax credits, these changes can be seen in all Boston neighborhoods.
BLC's compiles a calendar of activities presented by the Commission’s knowledgeable staff and dozens of participating organizations. Join us for our Keynote Event on May 5 at the Boston Public Library for a panel discussion on how development and preservation can successfully coexist. Come along on a walking tour led by enthusiastic Landmarks personnel and commissioners. Hear from the City Archaeologist about his upcoming book, A History of Boston in 50 Artifacts, and learn how to research historic buildings at a workshop hosted by the Assistant Survey Director.
