2026 Missouri Preservation Conference

The annual Missouri Preservation Conference is headed to Lebanon! Our conference brings together preservation professionals and enthusiasts from across the state and the surrounding areas for three days of networking and educational opportunities. This year, we are joining the rest of the country in celebrating the birth of Route 66!
