The Preservation Maryland team is again hosting Pop-Up Field Offices throughout the state – one in each county – meeting with individuals who are interested in learning more about historic preservation or asking questions about various programs and funding opportunities. Additionally, ahead of the 250th anniversary of American Independence in 2026, we are looking to capture Marylanders’ stories and history they feel should be elevated in the upcoming commemoration.

We’ve recently tackled some of our largest initiatives yet, leading to expanded funding, programming, staff, and goals. Although the organization’s core mission remains the same as when we started in 1931, our work has adapted, our strategies have diversified, and our approach has modernized. We remain at the forefront of the preservation movement, creatively working to preserve place, affect policy change, and grow the historic preservation workforce so our shared history can be enjoyed for untold generations to come.
This work is implemented by a dedicated staff of employees. Each team member oversees a different and equally compelling aspect of our mission. Though technically a ‘small non-profit,’ we pride ourselves on being alarmingly effective.
Since our creation in 1931, the brief highlights of our impact include:
Beyond the specific achievements, we’ve also consistently worked to be a resource for the individuals and grassroots organizations working to save places that matter to their communities.
