Preservation Award Recipients

​

Each year, the Preservation Society of Marion County presents two annual Preservation Awards to recognize individuals and organizations who demonstrate outstanding dedication to protecting our community’s historic resources.

​

These awards highlight two essential aspects of preservation:

• Restoration & Rehabilitation – honoring efforts to restore and bring new life to historic buildings.

• Ongoing Stewardship – recognizing the continued care and maintenance that keep historic structures strong and vibrant for future generations.​

​

Recipients are presented with an engraved pewter julep cup, a lasting symbol of appreciation for their commitment to preserving Marion County’s heritage.
