Welcome to Preservation Massachusetts

Your Community, Your Commonwealth

Founded in 1985, Preservation Massachusetts is the statewide non-profit organization that actively promotes the preservation of historic buildings and landscapes as a positive force for economic development and the retention of community character.

Leading the way for Massachusetts through:

• Legislative Initiatives: We take our voice to Beacon and Capitol Hill as we rally support for preservation legislation and incentives at the state and federal levels. We are the force behind the Massachusetts Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit and commit ourselves to enhancing this program for the benefit of projects and communities statewide.
• Reaching out across our Commonwealth: Our statewide Circuit Rider program places professionals "in the field" working directly with communities facing preservation issues and projects.  Our monthly e-news brings you updates, information, events and what's going on across Massachusetts.
• Educating our Partners: From tax credit seminars and regional conferences to traveling workshops, seminars and one on one advocacy support, PM is dedicated to expanding the values and opportunities of preservation.  Programs such as our Massachusetts Most Endangered and Barn Task Force help us collaborate with communities while our workshops, Consultants Directory and reference network allows us avail our partners of our array of resources.
• Building Partnerships: As founder of the Massachusetts Preservation Coalition, PM knows that preservation takes a village and there are many players involved. Our successful partnership ventures bridge the preservation, development, banking, business and other constituencies. 
• Networking and Events: PM hosts a premier preservation event in the state each May that highlights the myriad ways preservation is embraced and utilized across the Commonwealth.
