Awards
CCHS celebrates the efforts of individuals, businesses, and communities in preserving and revitalizing the past. Awards are presented at the summer Annual Meeting in categories ranging from preservation of public space; education projects to preserve local history; residential, commercial, and public buildings; and community commitment to maintenance and creative use of historic buildings and structures. Special awards are given to recognize especially noteworthy achievements during the prior year, for example, saving a local diner for future use.
A committee comprised of preservationists, architects, educators, and developers visit various sites and select preservation award winners. Nominations from members of the public are welcomed.
