The 2009 Preservation Award Winners

Secretary Galvin was pleased to award the following projects and individuals with 2009 Massachusetts Historical Commission Preservation Awards on October 27, 2009.

The Preservation Awards Program

Massachusetts enjoys a cultural heritage rich in historic resources. The preservation of these resources has revitalized neighborhoods, added to the revenues of cities and towns, and preserved community character. Preservationists, working to protect our historic assets, have maintained the sense of time and place that forms the essence of our Commonwealth. To honor these outstanding citizens, the Secretary of the Commonwealth hosts the Massachusetts Historical Commission's Annual Preservation Awards Program, which is now celebrating its 31st year.

Projects and individuals may be nominated in the following categories:

• Archaeology
• Adaptive Reuse
• Education & Outreach
• Landscape Preservation
• Restoration & Rehabilitation
• Local Preservationist
• Individual Lifetime Achievement

Local historical commissions, preservation advocates and professionals, and the general public are encouraged to nominate deserving projects.
