The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St, will host this month's meeting of Preservation Racine on Monday, March 7 from 6:30-7:30pm. The event is free and open to the public. No registration is necessary.

A tour of the Racine Public Library's new Racine History Room will be available.
Preservation Racine is a nonprofit organization established in 1973 to identify and actively encourage the preservation of buildings, sites, and districts in the Racine, Wisconsin area which have historical, architectural, and cultural value. The group has cooperated with city and other preservation minded organizations to save from demolition significant buildings such as the Walker House, the Blake House, and Edward Jordan Hall.
Preservation Racine's educational materials, programs and slide shows are available to schools and civic organizations. Annual donations are made for books or their preservation to the Racine Public Library and to the archives of the Racine County Historical Society and Museum.
