Carthage Historic Preservation - Phelps House

Carthage Historic Preservation - Phelps House Community-based, non-profit membership organization focusing on historic preservation. Carthage Historic Preservation was formed in 1978.

Since its founding, CHP has established three historic districts with over 600 structures listed on the National Register, rehabilitated two Victorian properties off the Carthage Square, and purchased and restored the historic Phelps House. The Phelps House is available for event rentals. Today, CHP remains committed to educating citizens about the cultural and economic benefits of historic preservation in our city. Join us in our quest to save what makes Carthage so special.

The rains stopped for 2 days, just in time for Kitty and Christian's beautiful outdoor wedding. Kitty provided nice paper fans for guests while outside. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a lovely reception served by hired event workers. Afterwards guests enjoyed ballroom music and dancing. Congratulations Kitty and Christian! Thanks for choosing the Phelps House and for sharing photos! It was my pleasure working with you and your families. TommieBB
