---Interested in supporting historic preservation in Kentucky? PK is now taking applications for our Preserve Our Heritage auto license plate. Proceeds from sale of the plate will be used to establish a grant fund at PK for historic preservation in Kentucky. To learn more, please visit our the Preserve Our Heritage site. We never thought we would ask you to do this through purchasing something for your car---
---Preservation Kentucky hopes you will make your preservation voice heard at our State Capitol during this budget session of the Kentucky Legislature. We need you to call, email, and/or visit your State House Rep and Senator on January 25 or January 26th and ask them to support historic preservation needs in Kentucky. Details about these needs can be found here. This is our chance to demonstrate to our elected officials the importance of historic preservation to the economic, social, and cultural vitality of our communities. You can find out who your State Legislators are by clicking here.
---Preservation Kentucky is pleased to announce the winner of our Fall 2011 Raffle, in collaboration with 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville.
