May is National Historic Preservation Month. During the month we encourage everyone to take a look at our local historic resources from our historic downtown to our wide variety of historic neighborhoods to our historic parks. Embracing the history and stories these places embody can instill pride in our community and offer a great sense of place in which to live.
In celebration of National Historic Preservation Month, the Rock Island Preservation Society will present six Historic Preservation Awards, one Certificate of Recognition, and three Special Recognitions in City Council Chambers on Monday, May 13, 2019. To read about each of the honorees, see the May newsletter posted on this website.
Join us for a tour of the current exhibit at the Karpeles Manuscript Library followed by our monthly membership meeting. Our meeting focus will be planning the World War 1 Neighborhood Walking Tour.
Join us for a general business meeting. We  will be finalizing plans for the World War 1 Neighborhood Walking Tour. Our meetings are open to the public and anyone interested in historic preservation is welcome.
