Preservation of Historic Winchester

Preservation of Historic Winchester was formed in 1964 from the grass-roots preservation movement to preserve the community’s architectural heritage. Over the decades PHW has sponsored educational programs and seminars, annual house tours, and historic tours that inspire, educate, and assist property owners and government officials to further these preservation efforts. Above all, PHW strives to foster a preservation ethic in the community by infusing the thinking, actions, and public policy of Winchester’s citizens and government with the knowledge that historic preservation is a tangible demonstration of the aesthetic and economic benefits of preserving our past.
