Preserving the Heritage of Broome and Tioga Counties by Promoting and Protecting

Places of Historic, Architectural and Cultural Significance.

What do we do?

​

PAST promotes historic preservation through community education, tours, social media, a website, workshops, exhibitions and lectures.  
 

Why Preservation?

​

  • CULTURAL

By saving landmarks, we preserve clues to our history, the craftmanship of bygone eras and what makes us interesting as a people. Preservation maintains our sense of place and heritage.

​

  • ECONOMIC

Renovation can be more cost effective than demolition and may qualify for financial incentives. Historic districts provide a foundation for future economic development because they are desirable places to live and visit.

​

  • ENVIRONMENTAL

Preservation is "GREEN", it recycles architectural treasures and conserves the energy that produced them.
