Preservation Maryland

Since 1931, Preservation Maryland has worked to protect the historic places, stories, and communities in Maryland that matter. We are a trusted resource for the individuals and grassroots organizations working to save places that matter to their communities. This work takes on many forms, including thousands of hours of technical assistance, capacity building, strategic visioning, and establishment of effective partnerships. To make measurable impacts, our work has been divided into three specific, targeted and strategic efforts: Advocacy, Outreach & Education, Funding. Our major programs are Six-to-Fix, Campaign for Historic Trades, Smart Growth Maryland, and the Heritage Fund, among others. Each year, we celebrate Maryland history and heritage with events like the Best of Maryland Awards, the Old Line State Summit, and our capstone event, Phoenix Rising.
