RIVERSIDE AVONDALE PRESERVATION

October 13-17, 2009

If preservation is your passion, then I know you wouldn't want to miss this. You will learn about the challenges and successes that shaped Nasheville from frontier hardships, Civil War battles, civil rights struggles, and the development of American music. See how they make the New South energy thrive in their Main Street communities. Learn about the challenges they faced as they worked with plantations and farms, town squares, battlefields, city streets, historic African-American institutions, 19th and 20th century neighborhoods, and music venues from intimate bars to the world-famous Ryman Auditorium.

In the workshops you will learn to identify economically, socially and environmentally sustainable practices to invigorate your preservation efforts; expand your knowledge and think in a different way about Modernism + Recent Past resources with new strategies and approaches; and implement your plans with tips and trade secrets from finance and real estate experts.

And when the conference is over, you'll be armed with successful tactics and lessons from colleagues across the country so you can come home recharged with ideass and energy for Riverside and Avondale. Visit the National Trust for Historic Preservation for more information.
