The National Center for Preservation Technology & Training is hosting Preservation in Your Community, an annual research and project showcase, at the NCPTT headquarters in Natchitoches tonight, August 2. Several NCPTT summer interns and other local partners will be sharing work, and I will be sharing the above poster on Hodges Gardens landscape research. The event is sponsored by NCPTT, Cane River National Heritage Area, and Cane River Creole National Historical Park. If you are in the area, I hope you will consider attending. The come-and-go event happens from 5pm to 7pm.
Update: the evening was a success! Numerous friendly, interested folks attended PIYC last night. Appetizers and drinks were available as people gathered and conversed. Interns and area partners shared research, projects, and other information.
