PACA’s Heritage Awards were established in 1985 to recognize outstanding projects and individuals who have contributed to historic preservation efforts in East Central Illinois.
As the area’s leading voice for preservation, PACA seeks to empower the local governments, property owners, corporations, and the community to protect, make use of, and celebrate our heritage.
We engage our community through educational programming. We create interest, generate enthusiasm, and raise curiosity about historic preservation through a variety of media and outreach strategies.
Strong relationships begin with our own employees, volunteers, and members. We also work collaboratively with the community to build a shared understanding of the value of preservation and increase our capacity to protect and celebrate our heritage.
We diversify and grow revenue through activities and engagement with our membership and community, provide careful stewardship for existing resources, and secure funding from philanthropic partners, government, corporations, and other sources.
