Free local preservation events in May
Throughout May 2008, the National Trust (www.nationaltrust.org) and its thousands of partners across the country will demonstrate the importance of our nation’s heritage as they highlight the preservation movement. The theme of this year’s month-long celebration is “This Place Matters” and the City of Cleveland Heights Landmark Commission, FutureHeights and the Cleveland Heights Historical Society will present a lecture and two tours to celebrate our community and encourage historic preservation of its architectural beauty.
All events are limited to 50 attendees (30 for the high school tour). Reservations are required and are taken on a first come, first serve basis. Please call 291-4878 to make your reservation.
