“This is Preston. This is Who We Are.” Video Release

This short video highlights the work of a community effort led by the Preston Historical Society to create a permanent museum home, expand the history campus, and enhance the Root River shoreline for public enjoyment.

A community survey revealed over 62% of Preston residents use trailhead park 1+ times monthly.  Sixty-six percent indicated they would visit more often with improvements such as a museum, exhibits, reconstructed depot, benches, signs, and river access. We hope you enjoy the video.  Stay tuned for more news!
