TOP STORY

Celebrating National Preservation Month

May is National Preservation Month, and there’s no better time to step outside, look around, and appreciate the places that give our city its character. As everything begins to bloom, it’s a natural reminder that what we care for continues to grow, and that includes our historic buildings and neighborhoods.

Preservation isn’t just about saving structures. It’s about recognizing beauty, honoring craftsmanship, and making sure the stories that shaped Omaha don’t quietly disappear.

This month, we’re celebrating in a way that feels especially fitting.

PRESERVATIONIST SPOTLIGHT

Stephen Bartlett has been working as a professional finisher and restorer for over 30 years. Originally from New England, Stephen has been involved in restoration work since he was 15 years old. After relocating to Omaha in 2008, Stephen created Heritage Painting and Restorations of Omaha to concentrate specifically on Restoration and Finishing projects. Stephen graduated from Johnson & Wales University of Providence RI and frequently returns to New England for restoration projects where he developed his skills.  Fun Fact: Stephen’s Great Grandparents lived in The Blackstone Hotel for years after passing their Iowa family farm to the next generation.

Check out Stephen's work at 5611 Leavenworth St

Get your hands dirty!

We save places by taking care of them. When we give them our time and attention, we preserve their stories and purpose. Caring for places today ensures they can be enjoyed and valued for generations to come.
