Preservation
 
Preservation is about deciding what's important, figuring out how to protect it, and passing along an appreciation for what was saved to the next generation.

Did You Know?
Did you know that the financing for The Bunker Hill Monument was a hand-to-mouth project, culminating in a bake sale in 1840, three years before the dedication? By contrast, The Dorchester Heights Monument was financed by an appropriation from the Massachusetts Legislature amounting to $100,000.
