Thoughts from Liz Gamache, February 2020
Serving as Interim President at the Preservation Trust of Vermont as we enter our 40th year has been both humbling and inspiring.One of the highlights of this work is visiting Vermont towns, and meeting with people who love their communities and are dedicated to preserving what makes them so special. I've come to realize that our Vermont-style approach to historic preservation is unique, and that PTV is admired as a national leader, because of the way we approach our work.
