Preserve America works with
communities across the country to keep grand landmarks,
historic buildings, and other special places that reflect
our nation's history.
President and
Mrs. Bush support the efforts to preserve our national
heritage, and there are many benefits of becoming a
Preserve America Community. In addition to preserving a
national and historic treasure, communities receive a
certificate, and recognition by the White House, a Preserve
America Community road sign, eligibility for Preserve
