Listen Up! 2026 Historic Preservation Conference and America 250 Heritage Awards

The Art of Preservation

Preservationists and artists have long been allies in the fight to save historic places. From rescuing old theaters to once again host plays, dance recitals and symphonies, repurposing old commercial storefronts and dilapidated barns to become studios and turning abandoned schools into museum galleries, preservation advocates understand that historic buildings are the perfect frame for creativity, purpose and community pride.

Conference highlights include a tour of beautiful downtown Brookhaven led by John Lynch and Dr. Kim Sessums and the 2026 America 250 Heritage Awards. Purchase conference tickets and sponsorships or nominate a place or person for a Heritage Award below
