PBN Membership, a gift that keeps on giving.

Give The Gift Of Preservation This Holiday Season

What do you get for someone who already has everything? In a world where consumerism is becoming a luxury, gift-giving has shifted toward being more intentional and meaningful. That’s why we have the perfect gift for you. A Membership with Preservation Buffalo Niagara (PBN) is more than just a present—it’s an investment in community, culture, and history.
  • Exclusive access to free tours of architectural treasures, including Louis Sullivan’s iconic Guaranty Building
  • Practical preservation tools, like our vetted contractor list and personalized planning resources
  • A growing network of people passionate about protecting Buffalo’s architectural heritage
Every membership directly supports preservation efforts across Western New York, ensuring that our historic buildings and neighborhoods continue to thrive for generations to come. A membership with PBN is truly the gift that keeps on giving—and that’s so Buffalo. Click here to explore membership tiers and give the gift of preservation today. Happy Holidays to you and yours, The Team of Preservation Buffalo Niagara
