NPPN Member Retreats

Preservation Partners traditionally gather in the spring for a multi-day Partners Retreat, and for a day-long Fall Convening in conjunction with the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s PastForward Conference.

NPPN Spring Retreats are co-hosted by a different Partner organization each year, giving NPPN member hosts an opportunity to showcase successes, challenges, and progress in their communities. These gatherings are fun ways to explore new places, learn from colleagues, and gain new perspectives.
