PART 5 - What Makes A Historic Place Worth Protecting?

In the latest installment of Preserving Section 106, we piece together how historic significance, integrity, and appropriate preservation treatments act as the bedrock of Section 106.

From the careful stabilization of industrial ruins to the rehabilitation of historic landmarks, HistoriCorps volunteers see firsthand that preservation begins with understanding a place and making informed decisions about its care.

The next time you visit a historic place, consider what allows it to communicate its history. Is it the craftsmanship, the setting, the materials, or the relationship between its many features? And what might be lost if those connections disappear?

Follow the link and read PART 5 at https://historicorps.org/preserving-section-106-part-5/

We invite you to join the conversation around changes to Section 106!

Stay tuned for PART 6 coming soon!

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for HFFI’s Member & Volunteer Appreciation Event! ❤️ We loved spending the evening with the people whose time, enthusiasm, and support help us preserve and share Fredericksburg’s history.

A special thank you to our preservationist, Danae Peckler, and Helen Ross for sharing the story of Elmer “Peck” Heflin and his architectural legacy, giving us a wonderful preview of this year’s 56th Annual Candlelight Tour!

In just one month, we’ll step inside some of the homes that bring that story to life. Join us December 12–13 for a weekend of local history and holiday cheer. We’re so grateful to the members, volunteers, homeowners, and sponsors who make this tradition possible. 🕯️

Tickets are on sale now! Visit hffi.org/events⁠/candlelight-tour/ for details.
