Our Story
Founded in 1981, the Michigan Historic Preservation Network (MHPN) emerged from a gathering of passionate individuals dedicated to preserving Michigan's rich history. Initially known as the Michigan Historic District Network, the organization was formed to provide education, serve as an information hub, and advocate for stronger preservation laws. Over the years, MHPN has evolved, hosting forums and engaging communities to promote local historic preservation efforts. The organization’s commitment to advocacy and education has made a significant impact on the sustainability of Michigan’s historic places.
