On May 29, the National Trust for Historic Preservation will
release its 2003 list of America's
11 Most Endangered Historic Places.
As always, the selection is very difficult because every site is
well deserving and in need of attention.
I am sorry to inform you that we were unable to put the Original Woodstock Site on
the list this year.
We
appreciate your efforts in submitting an entry and keeping us abreast of
developments throughout the selection process.
We encourage you to explore other avenues to resolve the threat or
bring some assistance to your site. Please
refer to the National Trust's Website at www.nationaltrust.org/help
for information regarding the National Trust's grant and loan programs,
which have assisted thousands of innovative preservation projects that
protect the community, diversity, and beauty of our communities.
We
encourage you to contact our regional offices, also listed on the National
Trust Website, to keep them apprised of your situation.
They can put you in contact with the appropriate statewide
organization if you haven't done so already.
You may also want to visit the Website of the National Council of
State Historical Preservation Organization (SHPO) at www.sso.org/ncshpo.
A complete and up-to-date list of SHPO's is readily available from
that site.
While
we hope that each and every site is saved, we also know the reality of
preservation efforts. If your
site is still endangered next year, we encourage you to re-nominate it.
Nomination forms for 2004 will be available this fall and the
deadline will be early in January 2004.
Thank
you for your interest and support. Please
feel free to contact our Communications Office at 202-588-6141 if you have
any questions.
