Preservation Maryland

The Catoctin Furnace Historic Building Trades Program in Western Maryland embodies the mythology of the phoenix as the symbol of rebirth and new life for both the historic buildings and the young people who take part in their preservation. Preservation Maryland is pleased to recognize the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society and Silver Oak Academy with The Phoenix Award at our annual Best of Maryland Awards this May.

Delegate Steve Lafferty of Baltimore County is a long-time advocate for investment in Maryland’s cities and towns and protection of the environment. He will be recognized with the Legislative Champion Award by Preservation Maryland at the 2019 Best of Maryland annual awards.

Thanks to a bill sponsored by Senator Katie Fry Hester, with language provided, in part, by Preservation Maryland, the Maryland Department of Planning is now seeking a qualified consultant to conduct a study to address the challenge of reusing large campuses of historic structures, such as Preservation Maryland’s Six-to-Fix project Glenn Dale Hospital in Prince George’s County.

Preservation Maryland is pleased to announce Ken Robinson, former Charles County Commissioner, has joined Preservation Maryland as an Advancement Officer to help expand the organization’s efforts in southern Maryland and across the state.
