Welcome to Maine Preservation

Celebrating 37 years of preservation advocacy in Maine!

You are the key to preserving Maine's heritage.  Together, we make a positive and important difference in protecting our cultural legacy. 

 

Our core belief:  Maine's traditional buildings and landscapes provide tangible links to our past.  They must remain as strong and contributing elements of our cultural legacy - now and for the future.

 

Our mission is to promote the preservation, protection and vitality of Maine's historic places and encourage quality design that contributes to the livability of our communities.
