St. Louis, MO — Missouri Preservation announced their 2021 Honor Award recipients via a virtual gathering on Tuesday, June 8th at 6:00 p.m.
This is the 41st annual Honor Awards held by the Missouri Alliance for Historic Preservation (Missouri Preservation). The Awards recognize people and projects that have advanced the field of Historic Preservation in Missouri. Normally these awards are held in the Capitol Rotunda in Jefferson City, but Missouri Preservation has chosen to err on the side of caution and host the event virtually one more year. The announcement is FREE to view. Donations are greatly appreciated. Proceeds will help Missouri Preservation continue its advocacy efforts for historic preservation.
