HISTORIC RESOURCES IN OUR STATE PARKS
The Maryland State Parks stewards more of the state’s historic and architectural resources than any other entity. Through our Six-to-Fix program, Preservation Maryland will work to help identify, document, and prioritize the needs of these resources in the face of a limited budget and large project backlog.
