Description
Summary:Conservation in Montagu started in the early 1970s, with the rescuing and restoration of significant buildings and the declaration of 21 National Monuments (now called Provincial Heritage Sites), which safeguarded those buildings when no other heritage protections were in place.

This case study has found that, with a few exceptions, the conservation endeavours in Montagu during the past 40 years have been successful.
