HPS Portfolio

Since its founding in 1977, the Society has undertaken a wide range of projects and developed valuable expertise in historic preservation. Over the years, our focus has evolved to providing expert guidance, showcasing local heritage and architecture through tours, and connecting skilled artisans with the community through educational workshops.

Partnerships with like-minded organizations

We partner with local organizations to turn preservation ideas into meaningful projects, drawing on the rich civic, educational, cultural, philanthropic, and historic resources of Putnam County and Indiana. We are also proud to be an Affiliate Group of Indiana Landmarks where many resources are available for preservation groups in the state of Indiana.
