The Town of Cedarburg Landmarks Commission is happy to re-introduce the Landmark Preservation Award in 2024. The Preservation Award, previously given between 2004 to 2014, is inspired by the Town motto “Preserving Yesterday’s Heritage for Tomorrow” The Town Board has re-approved granting the award, which now states:
- Preservation of a home, barn, outbuilding, or other significant structure by restoration of its architectural character, structural integrity and state of repair to ensure its future.
The Landmarks Commission offers this award to encourage the preservation of century-old structures, in keeping with the rural character of the Town and its historic agricultural heritage. Structures that qualify for nomination in 2024 must be built before 1924.
The following properties are previous award winners. A plaque is on display at the Town Hall.
