Based in Yarmouth, Maine, Maine Preservation is a small nonprofit founded in 1972. It focuses on promoting and preserving historic places, buildings, downtowns, and neighborhoods to strengthen the cultural and economic vitality of Maine communities. It operates as a statewide preservation advocacy organization within the real estate sector, serving communities and property owners seeking to safeguard historic resources. The organization pursues its work through public programs and events, including annual Honor Awards ceremonies held at venues across Maine. In early 2025, Maine Preservation formed a partnership with the American Lighthouse Foundation to assist lighthouse owners with resources for repairing storm damage and preparing for future storms. Past initiatives include Drive ME Historic Tours, launched in 2021 to increase engagement with the state's historic places.
