The Preservation Society is a non-profit 501(C)(3) historic preservation membership organization serving Baltimore's two oldest maritime communities - Federal Hill and Fell's Point. The Preservation Society was founded in 1967 to stop
the proposed extension of I-95 across the Inner Harbor. Had the Preservation Society not been successful in it's ten year "road fight," the highway would have demolished the Federal Hill and Fell's Point communities, leveled Federal Hill Park and blocked the development of the Inner Harbor. To accomplish this, the Society led the effort to have both communities listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Fell's Point was became a National Register Historic District in 1969 (making it the second historic district in the United States to receive that honor) and Federal Hill a year later.

About Fells Point
Fells Point is a popular waterfront community just east of Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Established during the colonial era as a separate town, Fells Point today is a neighborhood rich in maritime history, colorful attractions, and delightful pubs and restaurants. Known to many visitors as a lively entertainment district, the 'Point' is also home to a very diverse community of residents, from bohemian artists to digital designers. Most services and shopping are within easy walking distance, giving the community a livable, 'small town' feel.
