Dear Friend of Preservation,

Since 1966, the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County has been working tirelessly to preserve and protect the architectural history of Lancaster County and to provide the tools and knowledge needed to help the local community understand its importance. An important part of this work is to educate on the importance of historic preservation.

We are asking for your help in supporting this important work!

The Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County is planning our third annual Lancaster County Historic Preservation Summit on Wednesday, September 18, 2024 at the Ware Center in downtown Lancaster. We are planning to invite people from local municipalities and historical societies, along with local residents, for a full day event including numerous presentations from experts in preservation as well as a Welcome Reception to kick off the event and a catered lunch at the historic Sehner-Ellicott-von Hess house, home of the Trust.

Or, you may pay online at: hptrust.org/preservationsummit/sponsorship.

Through the summit, we are hoping to educate the attendees on the importance of preservation and emphasize that saving Lancaster County's historic properties is not just saving buildings - its saving pieces of Lancaster’s history and charm that make it a great place to live and visit. For instance, the Trust was instrumental in helping to preserve the historic façade of the Watt & Shand Department Store that became a striking part of the Marriott at Penn Square, helping to retain the unique character of downtown Lancaster.

With support from individuals and businesses such as you, the Trust can continue its important work for many more years to come!

Sincerely,

The Board of Directors
