We are now accepting proposals for educational sessions at the NY Statewide Preservation Conference! For the first time, the Conference will be in downtown Syracuse, March 26-28. Priorities for 2020:
You do not need to be a preservation professional to share your story. Whether you are a grassroots community activist, an urban planner, a non-profit organization, an architect, a neighborhood group, a developer, property owner, or a municipality, we want to hear from you! We are looking for a diverse range of topics that include everything from neighborhood advocacy and small town revitalization to complex tax credit rehab projects and place-based event planning. Proposals are due by Friday, October 18th at midnight. |

25 years wasn’t enough, so we are returning with year 26 of this nighttime guided walking tour. This time we have new stories and we are reviving some of the ghosts that haven’t been seen at the event in over 20 years. This award-winning experience leads you down an historic street, where you encounter actors portraying Rochesterians from our past. Each has an actual event from our history to relate, up close and personal. Of course since its October – you know it’s going to be the darker, macabre side of history. This is a great event for those who love theatre, history, Halloween – or all of the above. Friday & Saturday, October 25 & 26 | 6:30-8:30 PM | Advance tickets: $15 members, $22 non-members | Tickets go on sale Tuesday, October 1st! |

Next week, we will unveil our 2019 Five to Revive list–a list that will call attention to historic properties and resources in Western New York that are in need of investment. The historic resources listed in Five to Revive become priority projects for our staff and programs. We work collaboratively with owners, municipal officials, and developers to facilitate investment and foster rehabilitation so that these structures can again play an active role in their communities. Featuring a live performance by Rochester’s fivebyfive, a modern chamber music quintet! Join us for the press conference and be one of the first to know this year’s list! Wednesday, October 16th | 1:30 PM | The Historic Parsells Church, 345 Parsells Ave. | Click here to RSVP |
