Eureka Heritage Society Preservation Awards 2023

Annual Preservation Awards

May is National Preservation Month.

Since 1995 the Eureka Heritage Society has taken the opportunity to recognize preservation efforts in our city by giving annual awards to deserving individuals and buildings.

How does the Society determine these awards?

We base them on more than just fresh paint and a new roof, although those are very important. Throughout each year, we watch and listen for news about restoration projects.
