Preservation Mendon

Preservation Mendon is conducting a project to research the deed history of some of the more important historical buildings in town.

Access is restricted to PM members. If you are a member then you can access the research website.

If you would like to join Preservation Mendon get in touch with us.

The Mendon Historical Commission will be sponsoring a demolition delay by-law at the annual Town Meeting. If approved, the by-law would provide the town a tool to help preserve historic buildings.

The Commission is having a public informational meeting on April 1st (7:00 P.M. upper floor of Town Hall). There will be a short presentation and time for questions and answers.

There are rumours that refreshments will be served.

You can read the latest draft of the by-law and an informational pamphlet on the town website.

Meetings are held on an irregular basis. If you'd like to attend, get in touch with us and we'll let you know when the next meeting is schedules.

All are welcome!

Welcome to preservationmendon.org, the website of Preservation Mendon.

Preservation Mendon is a grass roots organization of concerned Mendon (Massachusetts) residents that want to protect the special historic nature of Mendon while at the same time nurturing the continued development of the town. Our philosophy is one of mutual respect for growth and preservation; not one at the expense of the other.

We believe that the education of our residents about the uniqueness of "Mother Mendon" will create an awareness of how much Mendon has been involved in the development of America and where each individual or family has left their indelible mark. That knowledge should project an increased caring for her significant past.
