Working to Preserve Wisconsin's Historic Architecture

In upcoming months, the Wisconsin Trust for Historic Preservation will assume a new presence and stronger voice in promoting historic preservation as an important core value in our state. The Trust will be reviving old programs, including advocacy for our state’s threatened historic structures, and implementing new ones such as social networking opportunities and on-line information sharing. A generous bequest from the estate of University of Wisconsin Professor Emerita Jane N. Graff has given the WTHP new impetus to fulfill its long held mission to do “all things necessary to educate and encourage the citizens of Wisconsin, present and future, to enjoy with pride their cultural heritage as is embodied in the built environment . . .”
