MAY IS FULL OF PRESERVATION MONTH ACTIVITIES
Mark your calendar! Our 2024 Annual Meeting and Preservation Awards are coming up Thursday, May 2. We'll gather at 5:30 p.m. at Tier 2 Technologies, located at 1015 Riverside Drive, right down the hill from Grow restaurant.
Restoration of the Tier 2 building is stunning, and those who attend will get to see it. We'll also hand out our annual awards for preservation achievements, both for projects and for people who have made a real difference in our community.
We'll provide light refreshments, and students from the Robert McDuffie Center for Strings at Mercer University will provide entertainment.
But that’s not all we have in store to salute National Preservation Month. Here’s a quick look at our other activities:
Thursday, May 9, 5:30-7 p.m.: “A Look at Lamar.” Check the progress of HMF’s latest rehab project, at 169 Lamar St., off Vineville Avenue.
Thursday, May 16, 5-7 p.m.: Major Donor Party (invitation only) at the home of Stephen Reichert.
Thursday, May 23, 5:30-7 p.m. Sidney's Salon: "The Bottom Line: The Lasting Impact of Redlining in Macon" with Margaret Peth, MPA, 950 Third St.
Thursday, May 30, 6 p.m.: "Then and Now" walking tour, with Historic Macon and NewTown Macon.
SPRING FLEA MARKET WAS ROUSING SUCCESS!
More than 2,000 shoppers flocked to our spring Flea Market, picking up all kinds of treasures to take home.
Our volunteers checked them out and loaded them up, and we hope everyone will return for our fall sale in October.
Until then, we’ll be collecting donations from our kind contributors, and we’ll also be accepting dropoffs at our warehouse, located at 357 Oglethorpe St. (Call 478-742-5084 to do so.)
Thank you to everyone who made the sale so successful. And our volunteers appreciated the food from Nu-Way Weiners, Ingleside Village Pizza, Domino’s and Jimmy John’s.
As always, thank you for your support.
Our mission is to revitalize communities by preserving architecture and sharing history.
One of the benefits of your property residing in a National Register Historic District is preservation incentives. Historic tax credits allow citizens to undertake rehabilitation projects at a reasonable cost and Historic Macon is here to walk you through that process.
A key part of Historic Macon's mission is education and that includes the building trades. Take advantage of our free tool library and workshops to make improvements to your home.
