May is National Historic Preservation Month

Pfeiler Ranch Water Tower.  Over the years, buildings and structures under threat of demolition have been moved to "Heritage Square" in Downtown Oxnard, California.  For the most part the buildings are rented out for commercial use.

Over the years, originally inspired by a "what you can do" list by Preservation Action Council of San Jose, I've developed a four-part series on what people can do to "celebrate" National Preservation Month.  There are 60 items across the posts, ranging from visiting a historic district to watching a film in a historic theater.

Rather than reprint them in full--recognize that some of the links in previous pieces may be out of date--here are the entries.

-- "May is Historic Preservation Month: 60 ways to celebrate | Part 1: Cultural Heritage Tourism (1-19)"
-- "May is Historic Preservation Month: 60 ways to celebrate | Part 2: Explore your community (20-36)"
-- "May is Historic Preservation Month: 60 ways to celebrate | Part 3: Learn and Get Involved (37-52)"
-- "May is Historic Preservation Month: 60 ways to celebrate | Part 4: Preservation At Home (53-60)" 

Definitely hit up a house tour.  I've never attended, but always wanted to, the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Tour in Oak Park, Illinois.  It's already sold out, Wright Plus, May 20th.
