Las Vegas, NV – Nevada Preservation Foundation (NPF), a statewide non-profit organization founded in 2014 to preserve and revitalize historic Nevada buildings and neighborhoods, is hosting monthly programing events to foster a deeper understanding of Nevada’s cultural heritage and the importance of its preservation.

“These monthly events are designed to bring our community into the story of Nevada’s past – not just to learn about it, but to experience it,” said Dr. Paige Figanbaum, Executive Director of NPF. “By exploring our shared history through engaging, accessible events, we’re building pride in our neighborhoods, supporting our local economy and helping to preserve the character that makes Las Vegas and Nevada so unique.”

Leading up to NPF’s annual heritage festival, Home + History Las Vegas 2026, NPF’s monthly programing is designed to educate the community about the foundation’s preservation efforts and resulting benefits including strengthening neighborhoods, creating jobs, diversifying tourism and boosting conservation.
