The Campaign for the Historic Trades' and the National Park Service's Brick Earth Stone and Timber (B.E.S.T) Preservation Workshops are dedicated to hands-on and experiential learning for those interested in preserving historic places. The workshops are open to anyone: federal, state, and local government employees; private sector contractors, consultants, architects, and design professionals; students; non-profit employees; and homeowners. 

Each workshop topic covers a step in the progression of a historic preservation project and build from basic preservation knowledge to building investigation to treatment to maintenance. 

The B.E.S.T Preservation Workshop Series is a program of the Historic Preservation Training Center (HPTC) and offered in partnership with Preservation Maryland's Campaign for the Historic Trades.
