Educational Benefits of Historic Preservation
The educational opportunities offered by historic preservation are virtually limitless. For both students, teachers, and community partners, engaging in historic preservation efforts through a service-learning model brings home the importance of such efforts, and reinforces historical education by allowing all those involved to actively participate in its conservation and protection.
Historic preservation takes place in such varied sets and settings that students have opportunities to learn real-world lessons not only in history but also in math, sociology, environmental studies, urban planning, transportation issues, economics, building crafts, and many more disciplines. Service-learning is perhaps the best single educational use of heritage resources that has the most promise to directly benefit local communities and build awareness and support for historic preservation.
