The Story of Two Women: A Generous Gift Aids the Study of Historic Preservation

Gainter

After all the planning, Kim Del Rance realized she wasn't going to be able to attend the summer program at Preservation Institute: Nantucket, a program where participants gain hands-on experience in historic preservation while documenting, researching and helping conserve the island's heritage.
