Meet The League

The Abilene Preservation League is a 501-C3 Non-profit that specializes in educating, advocating, preserving and protecting historic structures in Abilene, Texas. Our dedication is to seek the best methods of melding our heritage with modern amenities. This allows the spaces to be utilized without limitations while maintaining the history of the location.

In the 49 years of preservation, our past projects continue to be vessels of knowledge and curiosity for the community and its visitors. Our legacy will carry over into the forthcoming generations of preservationists as it did from our past leaders to our present day leadership.

Who are we?
