Preservation Month 2016

List Serv Posting on April 29, 2016 by Debra Drescher, State Coordinator, TMSP

Several of you have asked about Preservation Month activities and samples. Preservation Month (May) is something that is 'owned' by the National Trust but they have in the past few years, not developed the comprehensive campaign that they used to. However, here is some information that will hopefully help you all.
