SHARING OUR STORIES
Does your organization have a story to tell? Today there are many avenues f
or sharing the stories that inspire a meaningful connection with local hist
ory and historic preservation.
This year's conference will help you improve current outreach or develop ne
w ways to share your stories through collections, local history, and histor
ic places.
Sessions will cover optimizing newsletters, social media, websites, publish
ing, online collections and developing a community history. Other sessions
will focus on preserving the iconic historic places in your community — r
ailroad depots, barns, and historic religious properties.
In addition, we are pleased to announce that Donovan Rypkema, the nation's
leading expert on economics and historic preservation, will join us for two
in-depth sessions on preserving historic places in your community.
More conference information will be sent in July via email and mail. Also,
