The Charles County Historic Preservation Commission is hosting an Open House in mid-February to provide an opportunity for residents to meet the members of the Commission and learn about their efforts. The Open House, which is a free event, will be held at Thomas Stone National Historic Site (6655 Rose Hill Road in Port Tobacco) on Saturday, February 11,* 2012, from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. Coffee and light refreshments will be provided.
The Historic Preservation Commission was established by the Charles County Commissioners in 2009. The charge of the Commission is to recommend properties for local historic landmark designation, review exterior changes to locally designated landmarks, and support documentation of historic resources throughout the County.
The open house program includes a keynote address by the chairman of the Historic Preservation Commission, Franklin A. Robinson, Jr., on the topic: “Why Historic Landmarks Matter.” The keynote will be followed by the presentation of a Preservation Award for a local project. Finally, guest speaker, Liz Creveling Petrella, of the National Park Service Technical Preservation Services Office, will give a talk on federal tax credits and historic farm preservation. Also, residents will have an opportunity to learn more about landmark designation.
