The Preservation Movement Then and Now
Historic New England, the region’s premier preservation organization, has developed this engaging panel exhibition that traces the history of the preservation movement in New England. This panel exhibition highlights the unsuccessful effort to save Boston’s Hancock House in 1863, which was the early catalyst for preservation in the region. It continues by examining how the movement evolved to include saving buildings of architectural interest as well as those associated with historic personages and events. The exhibition concludes with an overview of preservation today, which can encompass twentieth-century buildings, streetscapes, neighborhoods, and open spaces. Using a template provided by the exhibition designer, an additional panel tailored to preservation in your community can be created for an extra fee.
