Bring Our Preservation Mission
to Your Group
The Tallahassee Trust for Historic Preservation is dedicated to protecting Tallahassee's unique character, and we believe that starts with education. Our work is about fostering vibrant, beautiful, and economically strong communities for the future.
We offer tailored presentations and workshops designed to show how historic preservation directly benefits your profession, your neighborhood, and our city. Let us come to you to explain the process, debunk the myths, and explore the opportunities.
Who can benefit from a presentation?
- Real Estate Professionals: Thinking of listing or showing a historic home? We can explain the Historic Preservation Overlay (HPO), the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) process, and the real financial incentives for your clients. Learn how to confidently navigate preservation regulations and turn a home's historic status into a powerful selling point.
- Architects, Designers & Builders: Planning a new project in or near a historic district? We provide clear guidance on compatible infill design, appropriate rehabilitation techniques, and how to work successfully with the Architectural Review Board. Let us help you create designs that are both innovative and respectful of our community's architectural heritage.
- Neighborhood & Community Associations: From block parties to annual meetings, we love connecting directly with residents. We can present on topics like "Demolition by Neglect," the benefits of historic district designation, and the resources available to help you be effective stewards of your neighborhood's character.
- Civic Organizations, Student Groups, & More: Are you curious about the history hidden in plain sight? We offer engaging talks on the evolution of Tallahassee's architectural landscape, the stories behind specific historic sites, and how preservation shapes the city we live in today.
