Heritage Preservation encourages cultural institutions to do one simple activity to honor MayDay, a national campaign to promote emergency preparedness. This year, Heritage Preservation received submissions from 28 organizations in 20 different states and the District of Columbia! Learn what this year’s participants did to celebrate and more about the initiative.
