In addition to this distinction, Preservation Ohio is also the only known, staffed statewide preservation organization in the United States not affiliated with the [National Trust for Historic Preservation](/source/National_Trust_for_Historic_Preservation). Ohio Preservation Alliance, Inc. was established in 1982 in [Columbus](/source/Columbus%2C_Ohio). First known as the Ohio Preservation Alliance, the organization changed its operating name to Preservation Ohio in the Fall of 2005. Over the last 25 years, Preservation Ohio has been at the forefront of significant efforts to increase the scope and effectiveness of efforts to preserve the state's historic resources. In 1983, this included hosting the first statewide conference in Ohio on downtown revitalization. In the early 1990s, the organization sponsored some of the initial attempts to discuss the potential for sustainable and smart growth policies for the state. Current programming includes the HometownOhio revitalization initiative, the Turner Institute for Historic Preservation, and several others. It also authors MyHometownOhio, the country's first comprehensive statewide online magazine for historic preservation, downtown and neighborhood revitalization, heritage tourism and [sustainable growth](/source/Sustainable_growth). Preservation Ohio is also the home of the List of Ohio's Most Endangered Historic Sites, issued annually or bi-annually since 1993. ## Sources - Times Reporter [\[1\]](http://www.timesreporter.com/index.php?ID=73241)[*[permanent dead link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Link_rot)*]. - [National Trust](/source/National_Trust_for_Historic_Preservation) [\[2\]](http://www.nationaltrust.org/magazine/archives/arc_news_2007/081307.htm) [Archived](https://web.archive.org/web/20071029030026/http://www.nationaltrust.org/magazine/archives/arc_news_2007/081307.htm) 2007-10-29 at the [Wayback Machine](/source/Wayback_Machine) [\[3\]](http://www.nationaltrust.org/Magazine/archives/arc_news_2006/121406.htm) [Archived](https://web.archive.org/web/20080220234014/http://www.nationaltrust.org/magazine/archives/arc_news_2006/121406.htm) 2008-02-20 at the [Wayback Machine](/source/Wayback_Machine) - [Toledo Blade](/source/Toledo_Blade) [\[4\]](http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070819/NEWS17/708190326&SearchID=73290882921108) - Preservation Ohio online - [https://preserveohio.com/](https://preserveohio.com/) - MyHometownOhio - [http://myhometownohio.blogharbor.com](http://myhometownohio.blogharbor.com) ## External links - [Official website](https://preserveohio.com/) v t e Midwestern US historical societies East North Central Illinois Chicago Chicago History Museum Chinese American Museum of Chicago Civil War Roundtable DuSable Museum of African American History Forgotten Chicago Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society Society of American Archivists Society of Architectural Historians Swiss American Historical Society Others Campbell Center for Historic Preservation Studies Clarendon Hills Historical Society Elgin Area Historical Society Illinois Historic Preservation Division Illinois State Historical Society National Amusement Park Historical Association National Collaborative for Women's History Sites Theatre Historical Society of America Indiana American Folklore Society History of Science Society Indiana Historical Society Indiana Landmarks Landmark Columbus Foundation National Council on Public History Organization of American Historians Society of Indiana Archivists Michigan Berrien County Historical Association International Congress on Medieval Studies Lake Odessa Area Historical Society Leelanau Historical Society and Museum Mason County Historical Society Oceana County Historical & Genealogical Society Society for Medieval Feminist Scholarship Society for Medieval German Studies Society for Industrial Archeology Ypsilanti Historical Society Ohio Cleveland American Catholic Historical Association Center for Public History and Digital Humanities National Council for History Education Western Reserve Historical Society Others Columbus Historical Society Dayton History Marion County Historical Society Montgomery County Historical Society Oberlin Heritage Center Ohio History Connection The Pioneer and Historical Society of Muskingum County Preservation Ohio Sons and Daughters of Pioneer Rivermen Summit County Historical Society of Akron, Ohio Wisconsin Bay View Historical Society Economic History Association Greenfield Historical Society Milwaukee County Historical Society National Episcopal Historians and Archivists Oak Creek Historical Society Wisconsin Historical Society West North Central Iowa Cedar Falls Historical Society Preservation Iowa State Historical Society of Iowa Kansas Kansas Historical Society Minnesota Aitkin County Depot Museum American Society of Church History Anoka County History Center Blue Earth County History Center Brown County Museum (New Ulm, Minnesota) Carlton County History and Heritage Center Giants of the Earth Heritage Center Hennepin History Museum Iron Range Historical Society Kandiyohi County Historical Society Maritime Heritage Minnesota Minnesota Historical Society Northern Great Plains History Conference Norwegian-American Historical Association Red Tail Squadron Wilkin County Museum Missouri Boone County Historical Society John Whitmer Historical Association Missouri Folklore Society Missouri Historical Society State Historical Society of Missouri Nebraska Douglas County Historical Society Nebraska State Historical Society Plains Historical Society Washington County Historical Association Western History Association North Dakota State Historical Society of North Dakota South Dakota South Dakota State Historical Society This Ohio-related article is a stub.
