New Orleans was the perfect host city for the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s PastForward 2024 Conference, where HCF joined preservationists from across the country to share insights, tackle challenges, and experience preservation efforts firsthand.

Last week, a team of HCF staffers had the pleasure of attending the National Trust’s annual preservation conference in New Orleans. As always, it was an excellent opportunity to network with old colleagues, meet new folks doing interesting things around the country, and get the overall temperature of the national preservation movement. It also serves as an important benchmarking exercise—how does Historic Charleston stack up to the rest of the country and the Trust’s priorities?

Our team visits easement property, 60 Tradd, to learn more about its history and renovation work behind the three-story piazza with homeowner and co-steward of the historic home and architect, Bill Huey.
