Todd Union National Register Nomination Celebration - July 11th |
||
|
|
|
 |
||
Join us to celebrate the National Register listing of Todd Union with a panel discussion and reception with original members of the Gay Liberation Front, local LGBTQ+ leaders, and student members of PRIDE. A reception will follow the panel. This event is part of a special yearlong celebration of Todd Union’s addition to the National Register of Historic Places. The Gay Liberation Front student group meetings originally held in Todd Union in the 1970s directly paved the way for numerous Rochester-based LGBTQ+ organizations that continue their work and advocacy today. The intent of the Todd Union National Register listing is to formally identify the building as a historic landmark as well as to recognize the importance of the Gay Liberation Front student group, the courage of its members, and the immense impact the group has had and continues to have on the LGBTQ+ movement in Rochester and surrounding communities. This event takes place on Monday, July 11th at 5:30pm at Todd Union on the University of Rochester Campus (400 Alumni Road). The event is free but please pre-register! |

Save the date for the 2022 NY Statewide Preservation Conference |

|
|
|
 |
||
Mark your calendars for the NY Statewide Preservation Conference! The Conference will take place in person in Syracuse, NY, September 22-24. Registration will go live in late July, so keep an eye on our website! The theme for 2022 is Shifting Landscapes. Whether due to a pandemic, climate change, the economy, or an unpredictable real estate market, as preservationists we are always adapting our work as the landscape shifts beneath our feet. At this year’s Conference, we’ll explore the shifting practice and definition of historic preservation, both as a professional field and grassroots movement. We’ll also celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted, and explore the role that cultural landscapes play in fostering equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility in our communities. We hope you’ll join us and be a part of the conversation! This year’s Conference is presented by: The Landmark Society of Western New York; Preservation Association of Central New York; City of Syracuse; The Preservation League of New York State; and the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. |
