In 2015 the City of Stillwater, in conjunction with the Cities of Eden Prairie and Mankato, received a Heritage Partnership Program grant from the Minnesota Historical Society to retain professional services and develop a training curriculum for statewide distribution. The focus of the grant was to develop training materials that would satisfy the educational needs of Heritage Preservation Commissions across the State of Minnesota. The primary goal of this program is to introduce participants to basic preservation related principles and terminology through an online program and accompanying manual.
