Sanders Store

Our chapter presented three Excellence in Historic Preservation medals tonight to Whippoorwill Hill, VET Environmental Engineering, LLC., and Sanders Store. Rudy & Kay Fields accepted the awards on behalf of their Sanders Store building as well as their daughters’ businesses. We were happy to recognize how they’ve each restored and repurposed barns and buildings from different eras in Bloomington.

The DAR’s Excellence in Historic Preservation award recognizes outstanding individuals and organizations that promote historic preservation in myriad ways. The recognition honors individuals and groups that have saved and/or preserved their local history, including restoration of buildings, collections, significant objects, monuments, cemeteries, and other important artifacts. It may be presented to a group or business that rescues a historic structure to establish it as its headquarters.

All are welcome here. 🩶
