On Oct. 20, the Great North Woods Center for the Arts was one of 7 properties in New Hampshire to be selected by the N.H. Preservation Alliance for the annual Seven to Save award. We are thrilled and honored to be chosen.
The GNWCA has accomplished so much in the past 8 years--but there is more work ahead. We thank everyone who has become a part of the story--our partners, community, donors, volunteers.
Together--We Can Do More!
According to the N.H. Preservation Alliance,
This year’s listees include civic landmarks, religious buildings, a historic bridge, a waterfront collection of maritime buildings, and an arts and culture center. Together, they reflect the range of historic resources threatened by deferred maintenance, insufficient funding, sea-level rise, and other challenges—and the potential for preservation to spark renewed community and economic vitality.
The Preservation Alliance received a record number of nominations for church buildings this year, underscoring the growing challenges facing these important community landmarks across the Granite State.
“This year’s Seven to Save listees demonstrate the many ways historic places can serve their communities—from rehabilitating buildings for their original purposes to finding new uses that meet today’s needs," noted Martha Cummings, Community Preservation Services Manager at the Preservation Alliance. "At the heart of each project is preservation and sustainability: making the most of the buildings and places we have, while ensuring they continue to contribute to our communities for generations to come.”
Please watch the wonderful video they created for this announcement:
