with Devin Coleman

From its grassroots origins in the 19th century, historic preservation evolved into a professional field of study in the 20th century. Today, the field continues to adapt to changing social, political, economic, and environmental pressures, shaping how future preservation professionals are being educated and prepared to address the challenges of the 21st century.

Fall 2026 Historic Preservation Speaker Series

This talk is presented as part of our Fall 2026 Speaker Series. All talks are free and open to the public, and take place Wednesday evenings from 6:30 - 8 pm. No registration required, just drop by. Join us in person or online via livestream on our YouTube channel.

Twice a year, we curate a series of lectures on a design/build theme. This Fall, we will take on a historic preservation theme and look at case studies, state-wide policy and funding, and retrofitting for modern efficiency standards.
