In pursuit of its mission “to preserve and celebrate Peoria’s story!” the Peoria Historical Society created the Historic Preservation Award in 1988. Each year it honors people, organizations, and businesses that demonstrate outstanding efforts to reclaim, rehabilitate, and preserve the architecture, neighborhoods, and landscapes of the Tri-County area.

We salute these award winners for their dedication to cherishing and preserving Peoria's past.
