11 TO SAVE - Florida Trust for Historic Preservation

FLORIDA’S 11 TO SAVE

Each year, the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation announces its 11 to Save program as part of its annual conference. The program is designed to increase the public’s awareness of the urgent need to save Florida’s historic resources, and to empower local preservationists and preservation groups in their efforts to preserve Florida’s rich history.

11 to Save locations are nominated by the public, reflecting historic places that matter to Florida’s communities. Inclusion on the Florida’s 11 to Save is a starting point for advocacy and education, and part of a collaborative effort to identify custom solutions for each property.
