2025 Duda Forum (Austin, New Braunfels)

Register today for the 3rd annual Duda Forum on Historic Preservation and Sustainable Development, November 20-21. This year’s forum will spotlight Texas’s historic courthouses, exploring their preservation challenges and the vital role they play in communities. Since 1999, the Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program has awarded over $400 million in grants to restore 107 courthouses across the state. The forum will open with a keynote at the Travis County Courthouse in Austin, followed by a full day of sessions at the Comal County Courthouse in New Braunfels.
The Duda Forum III is coordinated by the Texas Historical Foundation, the Michael Christopher Duda Center for Preservation, Resilience, and Sustainability at the University of Notre Dame, and the Texas Historical Commission Courthouse Preservation Program.
