ISN'T IT TIME TO MAKE PRESERVATION MATTER —
or matter more —in your community? Attend the two -day
33rd Annual Statewide Historic Preservation Conference in
historic Lanesboro, Minnesota. Learn how communications
strategies support advocacy, how to deal with building codes
and ways to tackle "white elephants" through community
activism. Educational sessions, mobile workshops and tours
are a few of the activities planned in Lanesboro, known as the
bed and breakfast capital of Minnesota.
The city offers a perfect setting for preservation- minded
attendees. Lanesboro, with its rolling countryside and
rocky bluffs, is recognized as a model community that
emerged from decline to strength. In 1998, the city was
recognized as a Great American Main Street by the
National Trust for Historic Preservation, and in 2013
ArtPlace identified Lanesboro as one of America's top
12 ArtPlaces. Lanesboro's comeback as a thriving rural
community can be traced to pairing the town's natural and
cultural assets to accessibility. Downtown Lanesboro will
serve as our laboratory, with the Commonweal and
St. Mane theatres serving as venues and headquarters.
In September join historians, architects, planners, public
officials, property owners, preservation commission
members and citizen advocates from across Minnesota.
Keynote Speaker
NORE WINTER • Preservation Means "Change'
Some may assume that preservation
means freezing a building in time, but
many property owners know that
reusing historic buildings often
requires making changes. This can
mean replacing a missing detail,
building an addition or retrofitting for
energy conservation. These and other
changes are essential for maintaining
our historic districts and for keeping historic buildings in
active service. The key is to make the changes while
preserving features that contribute to a property's signifi-
cance. How can property owners make design decisions
that will meet new functional needs and preserve our
historic properties? This presentation asks that we refocus
the definition of "preservation," and provides case studies
for what that means.
