May is Preservation Month and the Hancock Historical Museum is working to raise awareness. Executive Director Sarah Sisser explained that there are several ways to try and preserve a building.

She added that there are also times where only the facade is kept and the rest of the building is rebuilt. She said that this helps maintain the importance of these buildings while making sure they are kept up to date and maintained.

Sisser said that they will have several events going on this month to show the importance of preservation. You can visit their website at hancockhistoricalmuseum.org/ for more information.
