Welcome to Preservation Oklahoma! We are Oklahoma’s only statewide
non-profit preservation organization dedicated to protecting, promoting,
and preserving our state’s historic and cultural landmarks!
Preservation Oklahoma serves the entire state in its programs and
projects.
As we look toward our next 100 years as a state, the members of
Preservation Oklahoma know our work has become more important than ever
before. We plan to continue our efforts of identifying those “special”
places in our collective history for future generations to appreciate
and enjoy through collaborative efforts with local preservation groups,
local communities, and our commercial partners.
Preservation Oklahoma also understands well the importance of historic
preservation’s impact on our state’s economic and cultural development.
While many of us have expressed concerns for resource conservation in
an age of ever increasing energy costs, we also must realize that
preservation is a form of conservation. Preserving those structures
which are locally and nationally significant promotes wise usage of
non-renewable resources. Preservation also promotes awareness of the
importance of caring for our past to provide for a better future.
I hope you will join me as we look toward our promising future as a
state and help support the efforts of historic preservation. On behalf
of the Board of Directors of Preservation Oklahoma, I extend my
invitation to you to join in our work to rebuild our neighborhoods and
strengthen our communities—all across the state!
Respectfully,
Kay Decker, Ed.D., President
Board of Directors
Preservation Oklahoma
