  Preservation Easements: Saving Your History will be presented by David Bergstone and George Edwards -- professional preservationists and PF Board members -- in the Forsyth County Public Library Auditorium (Central Library) on Tuesday, May 21 from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. 

  The presentation will explain the purpose and use of preservation easements to protect your historic property for the future. This is a method for an owner to grant property rights to their historic property that will protect it from unsympathetic changes by any future property owners. They will also discuss an easement's implications on property taxes and the potential for a charitable donation. Don't miss out on this informative program and the opportunity to have your questions regarding preservation easements answered.

  The presentation is free and open to the public, but we hope you will take a minute to register and let us know you are coming.

  Preservation Forsyth is excited to offer its members a Hard Hat Tour of the Former Coca-Cola Bottling Plant in Winston-Salem. Built in 1929, "the facility was the first bottling plant designed by Coca-Cola architects." Designated a local historic landmark in 2023, the building, per Michelle McCullough with the Forsyth Country HRC, is both "architecturally and culturally significant," and shows the diversity of the city's industries in the early twentieth century.

  The tour, which will take place on Saturday, June 1 from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. will be led by the building's owner, Jared Rogers, who will share the history of the building with us, as well as, his plans to redevelop it into a restaurant and event space. The building "will also host a commercial kitchen for Bobby Boy Bakeshop." Attendees will be required to wear a hard hat and are advised to wear closed toe shoes. The event is open to members of Preservation Forsyth and the fee is $30.00 per person. Spaces are limited, so be sure to register soon!
