Interested in preservation? Have you ever wondered what exactly the Maryland Historical Trust does? Do you know what a State Historic Preservation Office is? Do you represent a government agency or non-profit organization with an historic property or archaeological site that needs help? Or are you a historic homeowner interested in financial assistance for rehabilitation? Do you want to learn more about historic and cultural properties in your area? Have you ever wanted to make sure your voice was heard when historic places were under threat?

The MHT Roadshow is a great way to learn about MHT's programs, training, and grant funding opportunities, tailored to meet the needs of the audience. Descriptions of current Roadshow presentations are listed below. Each year, MHT anticipates hosting two virtual and two in-person Roadshows for participants around the state. The virtual offerings will include one on general programs and one on financial incentive opportunities. The in-person offerings will depend on requests and needs. To learn more or register, please check this page for updates or follow us on social media.

If you have any questions about the MHT Roadshow or outreach requests in general, please contact Brenna Spray or fill out the Outreach Request Form here.
