Keeping the Past for the Future is designed to foster within our city’s young people, primarily in grades 1 to 5, a strong sense of engagement, ownership, and responsibility toward their community through learning about the built environment and its history. Through its interdisciplinary and hands-on activities, Keeping the Past for the Future supports literacy, mathematical ability, analytic thinking, problem solving and creative thinking. Meanwhile, the program emphasizes the important role of historic preservation in sustaining the quality of life of our community for present and future generations.

Programs consist of three or more sessions, including a neighborhood walk and final project.  Different programs include Neighborhood Explorers, Building Detectives, Local History Detectives, Neighborhood Poetry, Preservation Projects, and Design Detectives.
