Origins of the Historic Preservation Movement

May is National Historic Preservation month. In recognition, come learn how we as a nation and as a state began to recognize, preserve, and appreciate our irreplaceable historic landmarks. Some think the 1966 passage of the National Historic Preservation Act is the beginning, but preserving historic places actually started in the 19th century. Dorothy Guzzo, lifelong preservationist and Vice President of Saving Historic Moorestown, will share the evolution of the historic preservation movement and highlight some of New Jersey’s more interesting achievements.

This lecture is sponsored by Saving Historic Moorestown, a nonprofit organization that advocates for the preservation of Moorestown’s historic resources.
