Harford County Celebrates National Historic Preservation Month in May with “This Place Matters” Social Media Campaign
In recognition of May as National Historic Preservation Month, the Harford County Historic Preservation Commission, under the administration of County Executive Barry Glassman, invites residents to celebrate local places that matter. Based on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s “This Place Matters” campaign, Harford County’s month-long social media event aims to spark year-round conversations about preservation and the importance of place, historic or otherwise.
Using “This Place Matters” signs available on the county website, it’s easy to join the campaign and tell stories about the local places that you can’t live without.
- SNAP
Go to a local place that you care about and have a friend snap a photo of you holding a “This Place Matters” sign. Selfies and “usies” (group photos) are also welcome. Download a sign at http://www.harfordcountymd.gov/DocumentCenter/View/11402
