National Preservation Conference: Friday Roundup
by National Trust for Historic Preservation on October 16th, 2009So, here we are again – we’ve come to the end of another long, action-packed day at the National Preservation Conference. We’re sitting in the conference staff office surround by a rat’s nest of cords and chargers, piles of worn out program books, and (strangely enough) a bouquet of red and pink roses resting in a plastic Solo cup. Who knows?
Anyway, what makes tonight different is the screeching of tape guns we hear in the hallways as the 2009 National Preservation Conference is broken down and packed up. We’ve had a great week here in Nashville and, even though we still have a few live offerings slated for tomorrow, we hope you’ve enjoyed our daily coverage of all the action.
It’s been real, Music City.

At the National Trust’s booth, attendees were asked to call attention to a special place that matters to them. We couldn’t help but share the heartfelt entry for the entire city of Detroit. See more conference shots on our Flickr photostream or upload your own.

In the spirit of looking forward, we caught up with kind folks from our next two host cities. Hear what they have to say about what you can expect in the future.

@JoeBorgstrom Nice job @PresNation on a great #PresConf. I enjoyed the Main Street Coord discussions immensely. I look forward to OKC & Austin.
@docomomoga is thinking that it is great to see the recent past/Modern education sessions SRO or nearly so! Just wish the AC could keep up! #presconf
Over and out – we’ve got cowboy boots to buy (seriously) before the final party tonight.

Please provide information of grants or tax cuts of preserving my old home. What are the guidelines? Is my home old enough? It’s about 70 years old and is in Louisiana.
Thank you,
