Abilene: Preservation City

In the early part of Abilene's history, the citizens wanted to be a "brick city"--one showing permanence and substance. The Abilene Preservation League believes this spirit is even stronger now. We invite you to visit, and become involved in historic preservation.

We welcome Burgess Thomas


We're pleased to welcome a new staffer here at the Preservation League. Burgess C. Thomas, who sometimes goes by "Bird," is our new event coordinator and rental coordinator. Burgess has a background in the area of professional interior design, as well as environmental education and event planning. She'll be working with groups who rent the Elks Ballroom and Swenson House for events throughout the year, and also with our Board on planning our own fun events. With the Swenson House Centennial coming up, Burgess will be very involved in the planning for ways to celebrate that milestone. We're also getting ready to kick off the stabilization of the J.D. Magee home at 1910 North 3rd, and her project experience will be very helpful on that, too. Welcome!
