Affiliate member South Bend Heritage used a loan from Indiana Landmarks to move a c.1900 Queen Anne-style house to Chapin Street, attaching covenants and selling it to a couple who restored the home.

Affiliate Organizations 

A group effort

Though Indiana Landmarks operates nine offices around the state, we can’t be everywhere at once. That’s why we work to help organize and strengthen local preservation groups to work as partners in preserving Indiana’s heritage.

Some local preservation groups choose to join forces with Indiana Landmarks in a formal way by becoming affiliate organizations. Affiliates enjoy special organizational benefits as members of Indiana Landmarks.

To find affiliate organizations and other preservation groups in your area, see the Indiana Preservation Directory.
