Historic Wallingford | 2023 Preservation Advocacy Award

Come Celebrate our 2023 Preservation Advocacy Award Winner: Historic Wallingford! For our program, which will begin at the Good Shepherd Center, you can expect to learn more about this fantastic organization as well as embark on a walk-and-talk around the neighborhood with Historic Wallingford Board members Sarah Martin and Tom Veith.

Founded in 2017, Historic Wallingford is a grassroots organization that fosters awareness and appreciation of Wallingford’s heritage through education, publications, and community activities. The nonprofit organization has done a remarkable job of celebrating and sharing the history and architecture of the Wallingford neighborhood in its seven years of existence. Historic Wallingford has been instrumental in creating a historic district, organizing walking tours, hosting educational events, and advocating for the protection of historic buildings and landmarks. It is a shining example of how local groups can make a positive difference in preserving the past, celebrating the present, and shaping the future of their neighborhoods.

We hope to see you on June 12, from 5:30pm-7:00pm!
