Providing advocacy, training, and program support for Maryland’s Historic Preservation Commissions and local governments.

  • MAHDC Training Opportunities

    The Maryland Association of Historic District Commissions (MAHDC) has developed a workshop series that focuses on two core areas of preservation practice: design review and law/procedures. Interested persons are invited to attend a three-hour session, conducted by a certified MAHDC instructor, in six communities on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

    While the workshops are targeted to commission members and staff, historic property owners, elected officials, architects, contractors, and anyone who is interested in learning more about issues related to commission operations are invited to attend.

Welcome to the Maryland Association of Historic District Commissions

The mission of the Maryland Association of Historic District Commissions (MAHDC) is to provide advocacy, training and program support for historic preservation commissions and local governments across the state. Formed in 1979, MAHDC serves 47 Commissions, representing both urban and local historic districts, local governments, commissioners, residents and owners of historic properties. Our basic philosophy is that by working together, Maryland’s historic district commissions can help one another become more effective protectors of the historic resources in each of their own communities.

MAHDC Training Program

Over the past year, MAHDC has worked with our preservation partners to develop the first part of a two-tiered training and educational program for HPCs. We are pleased to report that the tutorial is now complete and can be accessed here. Read about the new program and download associated materials right from our site.

Workshop Series

For the past two years, MAHDC has held a series of one-day workshops. We poll Commissions regularly for suggested topics of interest and hold the workshops in three different venues across the state. Last year the series focused on the use of substitute materials in historic districts, and the year prior the topic was 'Mcmansions' and addressing infill management in historic communities. The workshops are geared towards commissioners and staff, along with contractors, architects, planners and historic property owners. We were pleased last year to have a number of participants from neighboring states as well.
