DHPA's Grassroots Preservation Roundup
Begun in 1995, the Grassroots Preservation Roundup "Idea Exchange" was intended to reach out to local preservationists who might not otherwise attend the Cornelius O'Brien Conference. This informal one-day event is held each year in a different part of the state. DHPA Staff present information on various Division programs that can benefit local preservation efforts. Roundup participants share stories of their local preservation projects, challenges, and successes, and have the opportunity to meet and network over lunch. The afternoon features a tour of preservation highlights of the host community and a dessert reception. This event usually attracts about 50 people, including local preservationists and officials, business owners, local historians, and others. This event is free and open to the public.
This year's Roundup is being held in Franklin, Indiana on Saturday, July 19, 2008.
