Preservation Iowa
Iowa,
Preservation Iowa formerly called the Iowa Historic
Preservation Alliance (IHPA), was founded in 1989 by
members of the public concerned about the destruction
of significant historic sites and buildings in the state of
Iowa.[1]
Preservation Iowa sponsors two programs, Iowa’s
Most Endangered Properties and Preservation at its Best
Awards. Currently, it is undertaking initiatives to docu-
ment barns, country schools, and small-town movie the-
aters.[2] Preservation Iowa and the National Trust for His-
toric Preservation are combining efforts to document
and mitigate the effects of the 2008 Iowa floods on his-
toric structures.[3]
Preservation Iowa publishes the Iowa Preservationist
quarterly.
