This year we’re in Adrian (pop. 20,500), serving as the Lenawee County seat since 1838. Its rich history is reflected in its traditional downtown, neighborhoods, and civic buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Our venue – the Adrian Armory – was built between 1924-1925. Tudor in styling, the masonry Armory has an imposing entrance framed by turrets and battlement. We’ll be there from 5:00-8:30 PM on Sunday, October 20; a walking tour is beforehand.

You’ll receive recognition in our Benefit promotions, on the MHPN website and our other media platforms, in the evening’s print program and on signage, and in our Annual Report. You may want to be part of our complimentary Virtual Vendors’ Showcase that will run 24/7 from the time registration opens the first thing in August.

Supporting the Benefit is a good investment in the MHPN’s promotion of preservation as a tool for economic revitalization in communities both small and large. Spurring local interest that results in all kinds of preservation projects, growing our revolving loan and easement programs that can make project financing a reality, and serving as your legislative advocate are just a few of our efforts with a direct impact on you.
