UTAH HERITAGE FOUNDATION

EDUCATION & ADVOCACY PRESERVATION UTAHS ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS ARE AT THE HEART OF OUR MISSION TO PROTECT AND CELEBRATE UTAHS ARCHITECTURAL AND HISTORICAL TREASURES. WE WORK WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND PROPERTY OWNERS TO PROMOTE PRESERVATION-ORIENTED PUBLIC POLICIES, SUPPORT RELEVANT LEGISLATION, AND DEVELOP CREATIVE, SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS. OUR EFFORTS GO BEYOND PROTECTING BUILDINGSWE STRIVE TO PRESERVE THE STORIES, CULTURE, AND HISTORY THAT DEFINE UTAH. WE EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE STATES HISTORIC BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND CULTURAL RESOURCES THROUGH LECTURES, TOURS, AND CULTURAL EVENTS. BY ACTIVELY ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY, WE EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR LOCAL HERITAGE, ENSURING THAT PRESERVATION EFFORTS RESONATE ACROSS GENERATIONS. OUR ANNUAL PRESERVATION CONFERENCE IS UTAHS PREMIER GATHERING FOR PRESERVATION PROFESSIONALS, TECHNICAL EXPERTS, STUDENTS, PROPERTY OWNERS, AND THE PUBLIC. IT PROVIDES A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO NETWORK, LEARN, AND COLLABORATE ON THE FUTURE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN OUR STATE.

HISTORIC PROPERTIES PRESERVATION UTAHS HISTORIC PROPERTIES PROGRAM SAFEGUARDS UTAHS BUILT HERITAGE THROUGH LOANS,EASEMENTS, AND HANDS-ON REHABILITATION EFFORTS. SINCE 1970, OUR REVOLVING LOAN FUND HAS PROVIDED LOW-INTEREST LOANS TO HISTORIC PROPERTY OWNERS, ENSURING THAT PRESERVATION PROJECTS MEET NATIONAL STANDARDS WHILE REVITALIZING ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOODS. OUR EASEMENT PROGRAM OFFERS PERMANENT PROTECTION FOR MORE THAN 127 HISTORIC PROPERTIES ACROSS UTAH, WITH ANNUAL INSPECTIONS AND PERSONALIZED REPORTS TO HELP OWNERS MAINTAIN THEIR BUILDINGS. THROUGH OUR REHABILITATION PROGRAM, WE EQUIP THE PUBLIC WITH PRACTICAL PRESERVATION SKILLS VIA EXPERT-LED WORKSHOPS AND HANDS-ON TRAINING SESSIONS, ENSURING THAT HISTORIC PRESERVATION TECHNIQUES ARE PASSED DOWN TO FUTURE GENERATIONS. BY COMBINING FINANCIAL SUPPORT, LEGAL PROTECTIONS, AND EDUCATION, WE EMPOWER COMMUNITIES TO PRESERVE THE PLACES THAT DEFINE UTAHS HISTORY.
