[Sarah Korjeff]

Program on Preservation Restrictions and Protecting Historic Properties at
South Yarmouth Library

Joseph Cornish, Senior Stewardship Manager for Historic New England, will
discuss Historic New England's Stewardship Program and how it protects
seventy-six privately owned historic properties across New England through
the use of historic preservation restrictions. Mr. Cornish will explain the
process of protecting a property with preservation restrictions from the
initial contact with a property owner to the execution of the finalized
preservation restriction agreement using examples of properties and historic
features currently protected by Historic New England.

The program will be held at the South Yarmouth Library, 312 Old Main Street,
on Thursday, January 21st at 2 pm. Please call 508-362-3021 for reservations
