Connecticut Preservation News

Connecticut Preservation News,  the bimonthly newsletter/magazine of the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation, keeps our members, constituents and state legislators up-to-date on preservation news, issues and trends. Regular features include news items from around the state, descriptions of new sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places, book reviews, reports from the State Historic Preservation Office, and Archaeological Perspectives. A regular column, "Connecticut Snapshots," highlights places around the state that are noteworthy for their design, history, atmosphere, scenery, or whimsy. 

Every year, the September/October issue is dedicated to the Trust’s annual list of “Great Preservation Opportunities”—new developments, great ideas, or places facing threats that offer opportunities for preservation. Growing out of the Trust’s long-standing listings of The Most Important Threatened Historic Places in Connecticut, “Great Opportunities” continues to attract attention throughout the state and beyond.

Connecticut Preservation News has been at the forefront of reporting new trends in historic preservation, including the protection and sympathetic improvement of historic roads and highways, curbing sprawl, the growing appreciation for Modernist architecture, and the emergence of sustainability as the latest preservation frontier. Connecticut Preservation News has a print circulation of 2,600, and many of its articles also appear on the Connecticut Trust's preservation portal. Connecticut Preservation News is included with a Connecticut Trust membership.
