Preserving History, Building Community
Welcome to the Palacios Preservation Association
If you’ve been with us since SaveTheLuther.com, welcome home.
What started as a grassroots movement to save the Luther Hotel has grown into something bigger: a permanent, community-backed, 501(c)(3) nonprofit devoted to protecting the historic buildings, architecture, and heritage of Palacios, Texas.
This isn’t just a new web address. It’s proof of what can happen when a town decides that its past is worth fighting for — and its future is worth building together.
