APT June 2025 Town Hall: Historic Preservation in Crisis-A Community Gathering
Thursday, June 12, 2025
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm ET
Since 1966, the United States (US) Federal Government has played a critical regulatory, funding, and guidance role in the preservation, conservation, and interpretation of historic places, artifacts, documents, and archaeological sites in the US. Federal dollars and expertise have permeated the public history and preservation communities, leveraging private donations, volunteers, and non-profit organizations of all scales. But now all that infrastructure and cumulative generational knowledge is being lost. The impact is only just starting to be revealed - not just in the US but internationally - and is slated to become worse with the President’s budget essentially defunding the Historic Preservation Fund and slashing a variety of federal agencies and programs. Join APT for a “Town Hall” to learn from more, to ask questions, and to be in community with your preservation peers. Learn More.
