About the Canton Preservation Society

In 1977, responding to an increasing need to protect those architectural and historical treasures which make the Canton, Ohio area unique, a group of concerned citizens formed a non-profit corporation, the Canton Preservation Society. CPS is dedicated to preserving significant buildings and to educating the community about the benefits of historic preservation.

To achieve these goals, the Canton Preservation Society:

  • publishes a seasonal newsletter, The Preservationist, to keep CPS members fully informed about preservation issues;

  • rescues important architectural artifacts for eventual reuse through our Salvage Program;

  • assists property owners with nominations for the National Register of Historic Places;

  •  provides assistance and reference materials on preservation and restoration;

  • acts as a liaison between our community and the Ohio Historic Preservation Society and the National Trust for Historic Preservation

  • participates in the City of Canton Landmark Commission
