SAVE THE PLACE, SHARE THE STORY

On June 10-11, the Mississippi Heritage Trust will host the Listen Up! Historic Preservation Conference in Natchez. The conference will focus on the difficult stories our historic places sometimes have to tell and how to incorporate these stories into the community narrative so that important connections between history and place are not lost.

With its wealth of historic buildings both grand and modest, Natchez is the perfect location to explore the intersection of the past, present and future uses of Mississippi treasured historic places and discuss how to best share a building’s stories in a thoughtful, thorough and respectful way.
