While the stories of places are important to our cultural memory, the role of place has to be based on more than anecdotes. We conduct research and data analysis to help us understand how historic places play a role in our future and how to best manage them today. Just as change does not occur in a silo, we do not work in a silo. Stewardship Strategies, LLC brings a network of thought leaders, designers and practitioners to the table so that we can have a multi-faceted approach to problem definition and resolution. We are a think tank that acts.
