News Release
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – In late May, Jarrad Holbrook will join Indiana Landmarks’ team as director of our Southeast Field Office. He will provide preservation support in Dearborn, Ohio, Ripley and Switzerland counties, and he’ll oversee Veraestau Historic Site – our National Register-listed property in Aurora.
A native of Georgia, Holbrook comes to Indiana Landmarks from Athens, Georgia, where he graduated from the University of Georgia's College of Environment and Design. He previously served as a preservation consultant for the Stewart County Historical Commission in Georgia, and worked for the Fox Theatre Institute and Georgia Department of Natural Resources in Atlanta. Holbrook has a particular interest in historic theaters, and during his time in Georgia he designed and created the state’s first comprehensive database and report on historic theaters.
“I am thrilled to be a part of such a well-respected and hard-working organization,” says Holbrook. “I look forward to contributing my experiences and skills to Indiana Landmarks as I learn more about the rich history of the region and the state.”
He replaces Seth Elder, who took a new position as the Town Manager of Dillsboro, Indiana.
We invite you to welcome Holbrook at a reception on June 18 from 5-7 p.m. at Veraestau (4696 Veraestau Lane, Aurora). The event is free, but reservations are requested at www.VeraestauReception.eventbrite.com.
