Historic Preservation Goes International

Kathleen Crowther, Executive Director of the Cleveland Restoration Society was one of seven American cultural managers welcomed in France Saturday to begin a nine day study tour on historic preservation. This study tour will allow participants to strengthen ties with French partners and to initiate collaborations. Organized by the Department of European and International Affairs of the Ministry of Culture and Media and the Maison des Cultures du Monde, the tour is part of the framework of the agreement on cultural cooperation signed by the French Ministry of Culture and the French-American Foundation in New York.

The Cleveland Restoration Society is the region’s largest non-profit preservation organization and is a Local Partner affiliate of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.  Founded in 1972, the Society is dedicated to the preservation of Greater Cleveland’s historic resources.  To learn more about the Society, visit www.clevelandrestoration.org.
