The New Hampshire Preservation Alliance’s annual Preservation Achievement Awards recognize individuals, organizations, and businesses whose work has benefited our state’s historic resources.

Nominations open in the first quarter of each year with the Awards celebration and announcement event in the Spring. Awards are given in the categories of restoration and stewardship, rehabilitation and adaptive use, compatible new construction, public policy, and educational and planning initiatives.

“We welcome this opportunity to recognize outstanding work and inspire others.”
— Jennifer Goodman, N.H. Preservation Alliance Executive Director
