Michigan Historic Preservation Network

The Michigan Historic Preservation Network's mission is simple: to save historic homes, buildings, and downtown areas in Michigan and promote heritage tourism. The MHPN offers several programs to accomplish this mission. Are you interested in your home's history? The MHPN offers seminars to community groups and clubs on researching the history of homes.

Also, the MHPN can present home repair seminars to groups. Topics include: building assessment 101, general maintenance of historical homes, porch repair, roof restoration, etc. If you don't want to DIY, the MHPN refers companies that can do historic home repairs.

If you love historic architecture or saving local and state treasures, perhaps, this is the group you've been looking for. The Michigan Historic Preservation Network is looking for financial contributions as well as volunteers.
