Preservation
Please join us in congratulating the Rockland County Executive's Historic Preservation Merit Award Recipients for 2020/2023:
After the long pause caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we were finally able to congratulate the award recipients at the 2023 Annual Dinner, held on September 10, 2023.
Since 1991, the Historical Society of Rockland County has presented nearly 100 awards to public agencies, private individuals, community-based and religious organizations in recognition of their preservation efforts in the County. The Committee also supports continued, critical action to help save Rockland County's environmentally sensitive areas and endangered architecture. Instituted to preserve the rich historical heritage of the County, the annual program celebrates each May with a declaration of "Rockland County Preservation Week" by the County Executive, a festive country supper and awards ceremony.

Awarded preservation efforts of individuals and groups
All of the awards made by the Society in 2020/2023 underline the positive effects of preservation on the community. The awards, made by the Committee for preservation efforts on homes, businesses and structures both modest and grand, help to get out the word that it is in everyone's interest to restore and retain the richness of the past. The process is self-fulfilling, and it helps to unify and inspire a community.
