Join the Meridian Architectural Trust- 🔗 in bio.

Help shape the way our city considers its paat and its future by becoming a member today.

MAT members of all levels believe in working to preserve Meridian, Mississippi's qualified historic buildings. We are educating and engaging the whole community through tools like our Lunch & Learn series, and developing a revolving fund that will save and protect vacant, endangered, and blighted historic properties.

We believe this will help create a greater sense of place and foster an economy surrounding historic preservation, while lifting the spirits of our citizens and creating a city tourists will want to visit again and again. While saving our buildings, we'll save our storied past, dream big dreams for the future, and work toward realizing them.

Joun us in saving Meridian's stories, one building at a time! ❤️
