Preservation Maryland’s annual Best of Maryland preservation awards event on Thursday, May 12, 2016 will recognize and celebrate the outstanding projects that transformed and revitalized historic places, and the professionals, artisans, and volunteers that help protect the heritage and history of Maryland. The Best of Maryland Awards is a party; no long speeches, just a casual atmosphere for congratulating the awardees, networking with movers-and-shakers in Maryland preservation, and enjoying preservation’s “saves,” “afters,” and “wows!” For more information about the programs and each of the awardees, please contact Nicholas Redding at [email protected] or go to presmd.org/awards16.
