Inspiration

Good Ideas

Historic places are important because of their connection to our past, but historic places are saved because of the people of today. In every corner of Vermont there are people working together to save a community center, church, civic building, old theater and more. Here are their stories and the stories of their projects, as well as words from the thought leaders both local and afar. We hope you find great inspiration.

Go save!
