🏛️ What is Historic Preservation

Historic preservation, as defined by the National Park Service (NPS), is the practice of protecting and maintaining places, objects, or landscapes that hold historical, cultural, or architectural significance. 

It involves a range of activities aimed at transmitting our understanding of the past to future generations. This includes celebrating positive aspects of history, acknowledging and learning from challenging moments, and ensuring these sites and artifacts remain accessible for education and enjoyment.
