Since 1993, the Massachusetts Most Endangered Historic Resources Program has been an important education and advocacy tool for Preservation Massachusetts, helping us identify endangered historic resources from across the state and work collaboratively with partners toward positive preservation outcomes. Though listing is only an honorary designation, it is one of the first steps in focusing statewide attention on the resources, their challenges, and their communities, and can serve as a catalyst for preservation opportunities. 

​

The Most Endangered Program is about so much more than preserving the history of old buildings. It is about elevating the stories of people and places - past and present - that make our Commonwealth so rich and vibrant. But this work does not begin and end with Preservation Massachusetts. It takes a strong coalition of advocates to come together to achieve positive outcomes for their historic resources and the places they call home.
