37th Annual Statewide Preservation Conference “Imagine the Power of Partnerships
The Michigan Historic Preservation Network is pleased to bring its 37th annual statewide preservation conference to Petoskey, Emmet County. This year’s conference theme “Imagine the Power of Partnerships” highlights how effective partnerships can make small projects easy, and large projects more manageable. Four tracks of programming provide attendees with the knowledge they need to give shape to their own preservation efforts. Track One seeks to inspire anyone involved in historic preservation efforts with noteworthy examples of partnerships that brought historic preservation projects around the State of Michigan to fruition. Track Two shares information about policies, incentives, services, and best practices for historic preservation. Track Three features applied skills and techniques for evaluating and restoring historic properties. Track Four includes several bus and walking tours in the Petoskey area and others venturing out into Emmet County to visit Harbor Springs, Bay View, and more. Other exciting components of the conference - Vendors’ Showcase and Community Open House, silent auction and raffle, and keynote presentation – are all open to the public. On Wednesday, the Great Michigan Road trip returns with one tour of Emmet County’s historic barns, and a second tour winding its way to Fort Michilimackinac and back to Petoskey. Friday evening is the 25th MHPN Annual Preservation Awards ceremony at the Crooked Tree Arts Center. Saturday features a “Wood Window Workshop for Owners of Old Houses” and we venture out of Emmet County on a tour from Petoskey to Charlevoix.
