Our mission at Hearth & Heritage LLC is to make historic preservation approachable, meaningful, and rewarding for people who may be exploring it for the first time. We believe every property has a story worth discovering not only because of its architecture, but because of the people, families, communities, and traditions that helped shape it. Through historical research, genealogy, and documentation, we help clients uncover the unique history of their properties, including stories that may have been forgotten or overlooked, and turn that knowledge into something valuable for the future.

If you're new to preservation, we're here to guide you through the process in a friendly and practical way. Whether you're a homeowner, real estate professional, investor, nonprofit organization, or caretaker of a historic property, we can help you understand what makes your property special and how its history can benefit you. Learning more about a property's past can enhance its appeal, support heritage tourism efforts, attract visitors, strengthen community connections, and even open doors to opportunities such as historic designation, tax incentives, preservation grants, conservation planning, and other tools that support long-term stewardship and value.

At its heart, our work is about bringing history to life. We connect genealogy, local history, and preservation planning to help clients use the past as a resource for the future. By uncovering and sharing the stories that make a place unique, we help ensure that historic properties are not only preserved and appreciated, but also positioned to contribute lasting cultural, educational, and economic benefits for generations to come.
