Beginning in 2007, the Newburyport Preservation Trust has celebrated preservation efforts throughout our city by awarding individuals and organizations annually for their contributions toward historic preservation. Our goal is to support, promote, celebrate and showcase preservation and raise awareness of the value and unique historic character of our community. We invite you to participate in this celebration by nominating those projects, individuals and/or organizations that you believe demonstrate an outstanding effort to preserve and protect our building heritage and the historic character of our city.
