Looking Back and Moving Forward

A note from Natalie Henshaw, Director of The Campaign for Historic Trades

Happy New Year! As we move into 2023, I want to take a moment and reflect on 2022. The Campaign for Historic Trades’ mission is to expand and strengthen careers in the historic trades. Necessary to its success is the relationship with the people it impacts—we want to structure our work to be supportive of – and responsive to – the preservation trades community.

The Campaign visits the National Association of Women in Construction summer camp for young women

The Campaign for Historic Trades and partner National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Training Center staff spent a day teaching historic trades skills to young women at the National Association of Women in Construction ‘s Camp NAWIC Baltimore, a free, week-long day camp for 7th to 12th grade girls to introduce them to a potential career in the construction industry.

The Campaign gave demonstrations on both masonry repointing and historic window reglazing and spoke to the campers about career opportunities in historic trades and preservation. For the masonry demonstration, campers learned how to mix mortar from sand, lime, and water and then repoint damaged masonry joints using traditional tools and techniques.

The Campaign for Historic Trades is a partnership between Preservation Maryland and NPS’ Historic Preservation Training Center created to strengthen and expand career opportunities in historic trades.
