Reviving vacant spaces. Rooting community.

Herstoric is reimagining spaces in South Bend with sustainability, creativity, and deep care for neighbors at the heart of the work.

Rooted in resilience and growth, we take inspiration from the lotus flower which rises through the mud with beauty, clarity, and strength.

Through our nonprofit wing, Milkweed Gardens Inc., we’re transforming a once-neglected green space in Monroe Park into a thriving Pocket Park and Micro-farm for both people and pollinators.

We are committed to creating beautiful, life-giving spaces in the Monroe Park neighborhood.

Restoring more than buildings.

Where others see vacancy, we see possibility. Every storefront, apartment, and green space we build is designed to spark life for the neighborhood around it. We’re building places where businesses grow, families gather, and where South Bend (and beyond!) can belong.
