The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) is accepting
nominations to honor exemplary achievements in protection, preservation,
sustainable use, and interpretation of heritage assets.

 

The Preserve America Presidential Awards are part of a White House
program to celebrate and preserve our national heritage. 

 

Mission San Luis, the 17th century western capital of Spanish Florida
and a nationally significant archaeological site and public park and
museum, received a PA Presidential Award in 2006.  

 

First Lady Laura Bush is Honorary Chair of Preserve America. Four
Preserve America Presidential Awards are given each year at a White
House ceremony-two for projects or programs that advance heritage
tourism and two for outstanding privately-funded historic preservation
projects or programs. Organizations, businesses, government entities,
and individuals are eligible for an award.

 

Nominations for the 2007 Preserve America Presidential Awards must be
postmarked no later than November 1, 2006. Additional information, as
well as a downloadable (fillable PDF) nomination form and details about
previous winners, can be found at www.preserveamerica.gov
