2016 Annual Report

A large crowd gathered at the Salisbury Station for HSF's 45th Annual Meeting on April 12th.  A few brief reports for business were presented. HSF Executive Director, Karen Hobson, presented a Year in Review presentation of foundation accomplishments.  The guest speaker for the event was the great-great-great grandson of President Andrew Jackson who spoke of the colorful saga of Andrew Jackson’s rise from an orphaned youth, through his military career during the War of 1812, to his serving as US President from 1829 to 1837.

Suggestions are reviewed by a committee of preservation leaders throughout Rowan County.  Projects completed within the past three years in Rowan County and comply with the Secretary of Interior Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties are eligible to receive an award.  

HSF's Preservation Awards are made from bricks salvaged from the 1896 Grimes Mill, a roller mill which was lost to fire in January 2013. We are thrilled to announce the 2017 Preservation Award Winners!
