Virtual Historic Preservation Toolkit Presentation

Tuesday June 7, 2022

Since January, LTHP staff and partners have traveled to various corners of the state to present the "Historic Preservation Toolkit" to those interested in saving historic places in their community.  If you or someone you know was unable to attend one of these sessions, please register and join us for the presentation on Tuesday June 7, 2022 at 5:30 PM.  This presentation will last about an hour including time for Q&A.  During this program, you will learn more about various programs such as historic easements, the National Register of Historic Places, Louisiana Cultural Districts, and more that can help your historic project.
