Preservation Maryland is pleased to announce the new class of Six-to-Fix projects. The Six-to-Fix program is an innovative impact-focused effort designed to help provide real solutions to big preservation challenges across the state.
One of the largest and most visible artifacts of the Baltimore Museum of Industry (BMI) is the WWII-era shipbuilding crane towering over the campus. In partnership with the BMI through our Six-to-Fix program, Preservation Maryland successfully advocated for state funds to repair and repaint the iconic crane.
Preservation Maryland, in partnership with the Maryland Historical Trust, Baltimore Heritage, and the Baltimore City Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation, are proud announce the first round of grant awards from the Baltimore City Historic Preservation Fund.

Preservation Maryland has joined a nationwide coalition of organizations, lawmakers and preservationists calling on the Institute for Advanced Study to reconsider their plans to develop the historic Princeton Battlefield.
While the proposed project in New Jersey falls beyond Maryland’s physical borders, Maryland soldiers fought for American Independence and shed their blood on the hallowed Princeton Battlefield. In fact, Maryland troops were with General Washington in the charge which traversed the very field currently threatened by development. As a result, Preservation Maryland made the extraordinary decision to take a stand on this issue and formally announce their opposition to a project that would dishonor Maryland’s Revolutionary veterans.

Preservation Maryland Executive Director Nicholas Redding explained,
“The story of Maryland is not confined to our borders. Marylanders have made incredible sacrifices across the nation and the globe — and wherever the history of Maryland and its citizens are threatened, this organization will not waver in our defense of that history. We stand with this national coalition in calling on the Institute for Advanced Study to reconsider their unnecessary plans.”
