Why is history and historic preservation so important to Manatee County and its residents? That’s simple - for the same reasons as it is important to all other communities. Historic Preservation keeps our community beautiful, vibrant, and livable, and gives people a stake in their surroundings. Newcomers exposed to our community’s past are more likely to feel a part of the community and become civically engaged.  Understanding our community’s past also gives us insight into how and why our community developed the way that it did. The character of historic buildings in our landscape sets our community apart from our neighbors, makes us unique and creates a sense of cultural identity.

Key to community building, historic preservation also gives us a shared experience and a place to begin community dialog about the past and the future. Preserving and sharing our local history also provides a sense of stability and a tangible link to the past.
