Banking on Preservation | A Taliesin Workshop

Saving important Wisconsin architectural landmarks is a fundamental mission of the WTHP. Together with the HPI at UWM, the Trust offered a full day workshop in 2025 exploring the future of Wisconsin’s historic bank buildings. Topics focused on the challenges of proper documentation, along with strategies for retention and reuse of these landmark banks in towns throughout Wisconsin.

New Strategic Plan for the Wisconsin Trust

In May 2025, the Trust adopted a new Strategic Plan to sustain the organization’s impact in a renewed era of advocacy, community engagement, and preservation innovation. Learn more about this renewed vision and refreshed core values driving our mission.
