PRESERVATION OKLAHOMA NEWS Save the dates, June 5-7, 2013, for Our Sense of Place: Oklahoma’s 25th Annual Statewide Preservation Confer-ence in Perry, "Queen City" of the Cherokee Outlet. The surrounding rich agricultural land, the Perry Courthouse Square Historic District (including only six buildings con-structed after 1940), the Noble County Courthouse, and Perry Lake Park are just some of the assets that contrib-ute to the town's character and that illustrate this year's conference theme. The three concurrent tracks of sessions will focus on the buildings, structures, sites, districts, objects, and land-scapes that provide a sense of orientation and a sense of place to Oklahomans. TRACK A: Homes and Home-towns features the neighborhoods, individual houses, commercial buildings, sacred places, and other proper-ties that define the unique character of our communities. TRACK B: Technologies and Techniques explores how preservationists use current technology and preservation techniques to share information, adapt historic buildings for new uses, and protect all types of properties for fu-ture generations. TRACK C: Landmarks and Landscapes examines the vernacular and designed landscapes and the icons that connect Oklahomans to the places they call home. Special events include the opening reception in the court-house square; local tours; Preservation Oklahoma, Inc.’s annual meeting and luncheon; and the State Historic Preservation Office’s annual awards banquet. Conference cosponsors include the State Historic Preser-vation Office, Oklahoma Historical Society; the Oklahoma Main Street Center, Oklahoma Department of Com-merce; Preservation Oklahoma, Inc.; Main Street of Perry; Cherokee Strip Museum; the City of Perry; and Civic Organization Cooperative Effort. Full conference program and registration information will be available in late April.
