Heroes of Preservation Award

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has declared May to be Preservation Month.  During that month, Tuscarawas County Heritage Home Association has chosen to honor those individual home and business owners in Tuscarawas County for their efforts in restoring or maintaining the historic appearance to the exterior of their property built before 1930.  Since 2013, fifty-four properties have been recognized.

​Heroes of History Award

In 2018, the Tuscarawas County Heritage Home Association began recognizing those individuals who have done much for preserving the history of our county, and especially in the preservation of architecturally significant structures.  These individuals have set the example for their community by devoting their knowledge, financial support, and/or hands-on efforts to preserve various aspects of our county's diverse history.
