National Preservation Conference: Thursday Roundup

by National Trust for Historic Preservation on October 15th, 2009

We were totally right in yesterday’s blog – today has owned the Virtual Attendee team at the National Preservation Conference. We’ve brought you a whirlwind of live session feeds and webcasts, and now we’re all a little slap happy in the staff office. In fact, we’re group singing “I Would Do Anything For Love” by Meatloaf…just because.

Anyway, we’ll get through this; here’s your daily update.

Over at Nashville’s War Memorial Auditorium, our annual Preservation Awards are being announced as I type. Twenty-three individuals, projects, and organizations have been selected for their contributions to local, state, and national preservation initiatives.
