Preservation Maryland

The Havre de Grace Colored School Foundation is stewarding the structure and stories of the Havre de Grace Colored School and working to create new museum and cultural center. The Heritage Fund supported the organization’s efforts to gather important first-hand oral histories of African American students of the school from the 1930s to the 1950s.

Preservation Maryland Executive Director Nicholas Redding has been featured as Preservation Action’s monthly Preservation Hero for his role on the front lines of preservation advocacy and for his impact and inspiration to preservation practitioners across the country.

Preservation Maryland is pleased to offer a number of internships throughout the year, including a Public History & Heritage Tourism Internship through our Waxter Internship Program.

One of the ways that Preservation Maryland moves towards the Maryland that we envision is through training a new generation of preservationists with the William D. Waxter Memorial Internship program.
