Under and among an amazing collection of historic aircrafts, the Maryland preservation community celebrated the Best of Maryland awards on Thursday, May 11 at the College Park Aviation Museum.
The stories told at this Museum showcase perseverance, ingenuity, and dedication – traits essential for aviators, and preservationists! This year, in particular, Preservation Maryland sought to recognize individuals from a range of positions that make preservation happen, from legislators to designers and from artisans to agency leaders.
Great crowd at the College Park Aviation Museum.
