Built on the theme “Sioux City Making Tracks,” the 2023 Preserve Iowa Summit is designed for historic property owners, historic preservation commission members, Main Street staff and board members, developers and planners, government officials, community leaders, architects and students with three days of workshops, presentations and an awards ceremony.
The three-day program starts Thursday, June 1, with inspiration – an awards ceremony to honor the Preservation Projects of Merit, Excellence in Historic Preservation & Archaeology awards, and Preservation Iowa’s “Preservation At Its Best'' – and includes tours of the Sioux City Railroad Museum, the Fourth Street Historic District and the Woodbury County Courthouse, a National Landmark. It wraps up Saturday, June 3, with a round of how-to sessions specially designed for Iowans who work or volunteer at local historical societies and history museums across the state.
