Honor Those That Preserve Our Heritage

Since 1999, Otsego 2000 has sponsored the annual Historic Preservation Awards for Otsego and Schoharie Counties.  The awards pay tribute to those who have helped preserve our historic sites and communities. A variety of people and projects have been recognized over the years, including the restoration or rehabilitation of historic buildings, educational exhibits, and individuals who have made significant contributions to historic preservation in their communities.

The American Hotel, located in Sharon Springs, Schoharie County, received a 2001 Historic Preservation Award.  This Greek Revivial style hotel, built between 1847 and 1851, had stood vacant for years.  Now in active use as a hotel and restaurant, the American Hotel is a cornerstone of the community’s revitalization.
