PACNY 2022 Monthly Wall Calendars available!

In the spirit of Giving Tuesday, PACNY is making an appeal this holiday season. Your membership and tax-exempt contribution helps us to provide technical support to property owners, advocacy for threatened properties, and to help preserve our region’s 10 National Historic Landmarks, over 430 National Register of Historic Places-listed, and thousands of other significant properties!

We can’t do this without you!

Would you make a gift this holiday season to help us continue this important work of awareness and advocacy?

As a special “thank you,” we will send you our 2022 Monthly Wall Calendar for a gift of $30 or more. The calendar highlights historic properties in our region and includes informative descriptions of each. These are brand new, high-quality photographs of your favorite historic sites!

Give yourself or someone you know this interesting and informative gift!

The Eight That Can’t Wait is also intended to raise awareness about opportunities for preservation and rehabilitation.
