Discovering and communicating our lands’ stories in new and creative ways.
From the snowy peaks of Glacier to the wide-open prairies, Preserve Montana works to discover and communicate our lands’ stories in new and creative ways. We know how lucky we are to live in a place where the land’s geographic beauty is entwined with the history of countless generations of people who have gone before us.
Each year, the passage of time, shifting economies, and an extreme climate all chip away at Montana’s lands. It cannot be overstated that once a heritage site is gone, nothing can be done to regain it.
Provide proactive leadership on policies that affect historic properties, coordinate a legislative information network, and champion protection and preservation incentives for historic places at the state, local, and national levels.
Grow understanding of heritage properties, expand preservation capacity, and celebrate historic places. We work to engage and empower Montanans with a heart for history through workshops and conferences to newsletters and professional publications.
Teach disappearing trade skills while working to stabilize and restore endangered buildings that would otherwise be lost. We offer a two-fold solution to maintain history at the highest degree of quality through workshops, classes, tool lending, go-to publications, and public meetings.
Provide professional documentation in the form of research, inventory, photography, condition assessments, eligibility reporting, and interpretive plans. We focus resources iconic to our history and most endangered (battlefields, barns, schoolhouses) thematically.
