In the year 2020, as a result of our collective work to preserve the state’s historic and cultural resources, we have achieved the following:
- All cultures and generations in Texas value historic places.
- We learn the diverse stories of Texas everyday through living, working and playing in historic places.
- Historic preservation is a fundamental strategy for economically, socially and environmentally healthy communities.
What is your perspective on Texas’ vision? What do you like? How can we make it stronger?
Process History
You might be wondering what happened to the ”preservation vision tree” from our public forums? Don’t worry, it hasn’t gone away! We started with a vision “image” to easily communicate the difference that preservation can make in communities across Texas over the next ten years. During the process for developing the plan, this image was added to and refined many times, until it evolved into a graphic that represents the plan itself, from vision and values to partners, goals and outcomes.
Look how the tree has grown!
