Did you know that there are fourteen designated historic districts in the City of Fort Worth? Lorelei Willett, Historic Preservation Officer, will join us this month in recognition of National Historic Preservation Month to tell us about those districts and much more. She will give an overview of her department and the tools that are available to preservationists. If you have a preservation project in mind, know of a property or district in need of a designation, or are just curious about what the city can do to help protect our historic buildings and neighborhoods, then don’t miss this chance to learn from the expert.

Lorelei Willett is the Historic Preservation Officer for the City of Fort Worth and has over 10 years of experience in preservation planning and education. She has worked at the state and local level to increase capacity for and support community preservation efforts and currently oversees the city’s preservation program. She also serves as the President of the Texas Chapter of the Association for Preservation Technology and is passionate about applying preservation principles to broader systems and supporting historically neglected communities and their histories. She earned a B.A. in History from Texas A&M University and a M.Sc. in Architectural Conservation from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, UK.
