"When you strip away the
rhetoric, preservation is
simply having the good sense
to hold on to things that are
well designed, that link us
with our past in a
meaningful
way, and that have plenty of
good use left in them."
- Richard Moe,
National Trust for
Historic Preservation
Dear Friends,
This year has been full and exciting in the world of Montana preservation. We have been just delighted at the progress made to stabilize and rejuvenate historic buildings across the state – the 56! properties assisted through Montana’s $4M stimulus preservation grant program, our JMKaplan Industrial Architecture grant winners and the many projects made possible by hard-working heritage huggers whom we honored with Preservation Excellence Awards last month. There have been some tremendous efforts and they have really paid off. And so we invite you to read on and be happy along with us that the Broadwater Silos, St. Wenceslaus Church, Thompson Falls High Bridge and many more outstanding structures will be with us for decades and decades to come!
