During May, we had the opportunity to host high school senior capstone students to learn more about working in historic preservation, environmental conservation, and public history! One of those teams (pictured here) came rain and shine to plant a pollinator garden at the Old School, which has already been popular for visitors (bees and humans alike)!

To all of our capstone students, we wish you the biggest of congratulations on your graduation and all the best luck in your future endeavors! Remember that you will always have a place in Waterford!

This is what it looks like when history is cared for. From conversations with preservation experts to walking through spaces that have stood for generations, this weekend’s Preservation Open House brought people closer to the work that keeps Waterford thriving as Our Living Landmark. Because preservation isn’t just about looking back. It’s about choosing, together, what we carry forward. Missed it? There’s always more to experience in Waterford.

In Waterford, history isn’t just preserved. It’s practiced. Through the Waterford Foundation's Craft School, traditional skills are passed down, reimagined, and kept alive for a new generation. Because the story of this place isn’t only in its buildings—it’s in the work of hands, the sharing of knowledge, and the continuation of craft.
