SECOND ANNUAL
NEWTON
PRESERVATION AWARDS
NOMINATIONS OPEN 

The Newton History Museum and Historical Society, in collaboration with 
the Newton Historical Commission, will be celebrating the architectural 
diversity of Newton with its second annual Newton Preservation Awards. 
These awards recognize projects which feature the preservation of 
Newton's historic buildings and landscapes and promote awareness of 
Newton's historic fabric.

A renewed focus on our heritage and on Newton's unique story has raised 
greater awareness for the value of our community's historic resources. 
The Newton Preservation Awards are an opportunity to celebrate those 
individuals that have chosen preservation as a sustainable reinvestment in 
the Newton community.

Examples of projects that may be considered for awards might include:
- rehabilitation of a historic house or building
- a sensitively-designed addition to a historic building
- restoration of a historic landscape
- education programs which make students aware of Newton's 
architectural treasures
- individuals or organizations which have done out-standing jobs of 
stewarding historic properties and materials

Award submissions will be judged by a qualified jury of experts. All 
projects must be in Newton, have been completed in the last three years, 
have photographic documentation, and demonstrate a commitment to 
historic preservation and/or rehabilitation.

Nominations are due by September 11, 2009, and the awards ceremony 
will be held in November.

Detailed instructions and nomination forms are posted online at 
www.newtonhistorymuseum.org. For additional information, contact the 
Newton History Museum at 617-796-1450 or
