At the forefront of New England’s preservation movement were women bringing a passion for preservation to the communities where they lived. Yet, somehow, these tenacious women’s history is often overlooked or lost from the record. Elizabeth Paliga, Preservation Services Manager for Northern New England at Historic New England, will trace women’s participation in preservation through the late 19th and early 20th centuries and elevate their contributions in preserving New England’s history.
