Cemetery Preservation Workshop Coordinator
Preservation Maryland’s Best of Maryland Awards shine a spotlight on the ceaseless work of Maryland’s volunteers, architects, artisans, legislators, and many more individuals who are doing the essential work of protecting the places that make Maryland such a special place to live, work, explore – and celebrate.
May is National Preservation Month – an entire month devoted to recognizing the broad and enduring social and economic benefits of historic preservation.
This Preservation Month, Preservation Maryland is thrilled to announce Peter Ginn as its first Patron. Patronage is a British tradition where people who are passionate about an issue put their name forward to champion the work being done for that cause. With support like Peter’s, Preservation Maryland is able to advocate for historic buildings, neighborhoods and landscapes to directly preserve the best of Maryland.
