George Washington Didn’t Sleep Here: Historic Preservation and the American Midwest

Join Dr. Rebekah Beaulieu, Ph.D., Louise Taft Semple President/CEO of the Taft Museum of Art, for a presentation on the development of the historic preservation movement in the Midwestern region. Dr. Beaulieu will discuss the origins of American historic preservation in New England and contrast the Midwestern narrative as one that is wholly unique from its New England precedent, citing examples from throughout the Midwest and right here in Cincinnati.
