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

Enjoy this short video highlighting 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 – all for public enjoyment. The recent Community Survey showed over 62% of Preston residents use the trailhead park 1+ times monthly and 66% say they would visit more often with improvements: a museum, exhibits, reconstructed depot, and more ecological features such as benches, signs, river access. On Oct. 26th over 50 residents gathered to provide input to the plan. Stay tuned for more news and join us for a 2nd “Community Engagement” evening coming soon!
