H.A.R.T.

HART provides historic preservation consulting, documentation, and interpretation services to communities that lack access to professional cultural resource expertise due to geography, limited local budgets, or insufficient consultant availability. The program strengthens local capacity to preserve historic places, interpret community history, and transmit civic heritage to future generations.
