As America marks 250 years of independence, we're reminded that preserving our history takes more than remembering the past—it takes skilled and dedicated tradespeople.

At Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Training Center (HPTC), alongside members of the Traditional Trades Advancement Program (TTAP), completed essential rehabilitation work to prepare the site for the Semiquincentennial.

Swipe to hear from TTAP members who helped bring this history to life through their craft and care.

Because preserving our nation's history means investing in the skilled trades that protect it.
