Museum Midday - Historic Preservation, People Saving Places

Historic place-savers pour their time, energy, and resources into protecting places they care about, often without recognition. Historic Preservation Month 2022 is for them—an island-wide celebratory high-five to everyone doing the great work of saving places in hopes that it will inspire and empower others to do the same.
