Historic Harrisburg Association is dedicated to the promotion of the preservation and enjoyment of Harrisburg's historic neighborhoods and landmarks. Through advocacy and education, HHA helps to preserve the city's human scale and evidence of its physical and social history. It seeks to contribute to the city's economic vitality and to build an appreciation of the city's history and a sense of community and place.
