In honor of National Preservation Month, PARADE magazine is partnering with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and The History Channel to celebrate your community’s unique contribution to history.

It’s easy to enter!

First, be sure to read the PARADE article “Help Us Tell America’s Story” (all links above right). Then “Get Inspired” by learning more about PARADE’s featured historic sites, including Elvis’s teenage home, the Rosa Parks bus, Lincoln’s Cottage, and the home of Seabiscuit.

Then submit your 500 word essay describing what happened at your site and “why it deserves public recognition for its role in helping to shape our nation’s culture and history.”

If your site is chosen, you will receive an inscribed plaque commemorating your site and a free year’s membership to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Each honorable mention recipient will receive a framed certificate and a free year's membership to the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Ten prizewinners and 50 honorable mentions will be announced in a December issue of PARADE.

So get out there and nominate your site for this important honor!
