Downtown Historic Preservation Conference

BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. – Come celebrate Bellows Falls and statewide successes as we look at the past, present, and future of Vermont and the communities we all cherish. As a community that has reimagined itself countless times, from a gathering place and home of the western Abenaki, to a center for the forest products industry, to a haven for artists and the creative economy, Bellows Falls has welcomed the future while staying true to itself. This conference will explore that spirit of reinvention and provide participants with proven strategies for community revitalization.

Sessions are centered around the following themes, and are inclusive of a wide range of topics that are relevant to communities small and large: resiliency, adaptation, inclusive spaces, and creativity. This is an all-day, in-person event in downtown Bellows Falls, with no virtual offerings.
