The Beginning

The Allegheny Historic Preservation Society began in 1988. On April 10, 1988, the first AHPS meeting took place. It began with a vision of a few to restore the magnificent Calvary United Methodist Church completed in 1895 which was in danger of closing its doors. There were only 12 individuals in attendance on Sunday mornings.

The Organization

Formed as nonprofit, nondenominational historic preservation organization for the purpose of access to greater resources and contributions to community. The AHPS Board consists of 8 members and has a growing membership. Many of these individuals have volunteered thousand of hours for restoration projects.
