Preservation Maryland

The Olympic Games are upon us and as the world turns its sights on Tokyo, Preservation Maryland wants to tell you about “the most amazing gold-medal story in Olympic history” – the story of Robert Garrett, a native Marylander and a former president of Preservation Maryland, who took home gold in the first modern Olympics in 1896. You have to read it to believe it!

In an Executive Order announced earlier this year, Governor Larry Hogan established the Maryland Semiquincentennial Commission to coordinate the commemoration and observance of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Revolutionary War, and founding of the United States. In honor of the 4th of July, we are again sharing the news and Preservation Maryland’s role as one of the statewide nonprofits to be represented on the commission.
