National Trust For Historic Preservation
The 11 Most Endangered Places in America
The NTHP's Eleven Most
Endangered Historic Places list was created in 1988, and is an opportunity to
spotlight parts of America’s heritage threatened by neglect, deterioration,
lack of maintenance, insufficient funds, inappropriate development or
insensitive public policy.
Countless places are
endangered. One must show how their nomination is representative of other sites
facing the same serious threat. Considered are sites and landscapes from a range
of backgrounds, from pre-history to the Civil Rights era.

Summary:

Unfortunately,
the Woodstock Site was not listed as one of America’s 11 Most
Endangered Places for 2003.
However, in speaking with the National Trust, we were
told that the Woodstock Site was indeed seen as having
incredible historic merit that deserved preservation, but at
that time, did not meet the criteria of being endangered.
It was explained that due to the fact that the Woodstock
Site was eligible for the National Register, it had protection
at the State and Federal levels under the Section 106 Review
process.
Because of this protection, the mitigation of development
remained a possibility, but the recognition of being endangered,
did not. |
