Historic Ithaca & Significant Elements

Clean Out a Little. Help Out a Lot.

Historic Ithaca, as the sole preservation organization in Tompkins County, is on a mission to preserve historical buildings and promote appreciation for the built environment. We offer guided tours of local historic sites, run "Significant Elements," an architectural salvage retail store, and host the Work Preserve Program, where you can gain valuable trades-focused training and green job skills while contributing to our preservation efforts. Join us in discovering the rich history and architectural wonders of Tompkins County! Visit the website above to learn more!
