National Historic Preservation Month - May
Yes, there really is a whole month dedicated to historic preservation and we are super geeked out about it here in Stuart. If you haven't heard about it, well, it's about time because it was first celebrated in 1973, almost 50 years ago! Go here to learn more about this historic month from the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
