THE MICHIGAN HISTORIC PRESERVATION NETWORK presents the FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL STATEWIDE PRESERVATION CONFERENCE at Venue One Eleven, part of The Holly Vault Collection OUR TOWN Preserving Places Together MAY 11-14, 2022 Holly, Michigan In-person, live-streamed, and recorded
I
dentifying places meaningful to us works best when we
discover them together, amplifying all voices and our shared
past. The restrictions of these last two years certainly trained
us to look again at what surrounds us. We went outdoors and
discovered natural wonders in city parks. We enjoyed the homes in our
neighborhoods rather than travelling to see new sights. We read and
listened so that overlooked stories were heard.
“Our Town” became the conference touchstone because we wanted to tap this
ability to observe in new ways. While showcasing local preservation efforts,
the idea of “Our Town” could also become the springboard for our expanded
recognition of the places and people to be included.
Our speakers agreed. Through their presentations, they remind us to look for the
places that embody the rich histories of underrepresented communities. We learn
from others about the place-making power of a city hall that now houses artists
and a school reused for affordable housing. Other speakers note that when places
are inaccessible to the disabled, our shared history is diminished. And where we
find no buildings, they remind us that instead we may discover where Indigenous
communities once thrived and where parklands reveal lost settlements. As the
conference expands these dimensions of “place,” we all recognize people – past
and present – who have been silent.
Place-making is not a solo activity. Rather, we have a vast array of places that can
evoke the feelings of “Our Town,” and an even wider array of people who help
preserve them, tell their stories, and shape our shared identities.
