Main Street Musings Chantel Morton, Program Staff Director Happy Preservation Month! Although preservation is celebrated every day around here, the month of May officially holds the title of Preservation Month since the National Trust for Historic Preservation designated it so decades ago. Preservation Month has been celebrated in a variety of ways over the years on Tybee and this year is no different. Last year, panels were placed at the Old School breezeway, highlighting the history of the school. This year, panels highlighting the Girl Scouts Headquarters on Tybee will be placed in Jaycee Park. The pictures below are from a couple of past years recognitions:There are so many ways you can celebrate your appreciation for Tybee Island’s history this month. Few ideas are: by sharing photos – with a heart cutout makes an even bigger statement – and sharing memories of your beloved historic Tybee spots on social media with #presmonth and #ThisPlaceMatters, and partaking in activities that are happening throughout the month. A few of the activities planned this month that highlight preservation are: -The Tour of Homes on May 6 where many homes on the tour are original Tybee cottages / historic homes that have been restored to showcase the timeless, classic Tybee look -An “I Remember Tybee” event at the Tybee Post Theater on May 7 @ 4pm where residents will be sharing their memories about Tybee (i.e. @ the Post, restoring cottages, etc.). Check out all of the details on the Historic Tybee Island FB page and on the city’s web calendar soon. This place does matter! That’s one reason we use “Preserving Community, Commerce & Culture on the Coast.” This phrase encompasses many aspects of what makes Tybee special for those 20 TYBEE BEACHCOMBER | MAY 2017 that live, work, and visit year-round. The work we all do today to continue the efforts of those before us helps ensure that Tybee’s authenticity remains is appreciated! As always, feel free to contact members of the Development Authority/Main Street Board of Directors or me with suggestions and/ or concerns re: economic vitality and preservation. Plus, if you are a business owner that’s interested in being more involved with the Program, there is an ex-officio position to be filled on the board. Patients Are Our Top Priority!
