  Rockingham Historic Preservation Commission along with the Rockingham Library want to cordially invite you to Join a community workshop about Historic Preservation via Zoom. Why are historical places important? What does historic preservation mean to our community? Perpetually curious explorers of our built environment, Historic Preservationist Paula Sagerman teams up with Vermont State Architectural Historian Devin Colman to lead the workshop to find answers to these and other questions about what preservation means to property owners and our community. Learn hands-on what qualifies a house as historic, how to get historical landmark status, what it means to be in a historic district, and the benefits of owning a historic home. Topics will include what to know before buying a historic home, about tax breaks, and the ins and outs of remodeling or conserving a historic home. The workshop is made possible through a grant from the Vermont State Division of Historic Preservation and the National Park Service.
