What Place Matters to You?

Speak up for the places that matter most to you

In conjunction with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and in honor of Preservation Month, we are asking you, the Carthage community, to share the places in Carthage that have special meaning to you: a building, a park, a street...big or small, historic or maybe just old, a place that played a role in your life or that you think is unique.

We invite you to visit the Sweet House, 311 Thirteenth Street, on Saturday, April 23, from 8:00am-4:00pm, or the Phelps House 5:00-6:00pm, and pick up a “This Place Matters” sign.

Place the sign in front of someplace that matters to you. Take a photo and email it, along with a brief description of why you chose that particular place, to: info@carthagehistoricpreservation.org

With your permission, we may share your photo in an upcoming CHP newsletter, on our Facebook page, or on our website.

Look for the signs around Carthage and see what matters to your friends and neighbors!
