2008’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places Announced
by Sarah Heffern on May 20th, 2008Not surprisingly, we spend a lot of time here at the National Trust for Historic Preservation thinking about threatened sites and how we can play a role in saving them – especially at this time of year, when we announce our annual list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Budget cuts, deferred maintenance, road construction, and development are among the dangers faced by sites on 2008’s list, which includes California’s State Parks, Charity Hospital and adjacent neighborhood in New Orleans, and New York’s Lower East Side.
The History Channel has prepared a great video, posted below, that describes the places listed this year, and why these places matter. You can also learn more — and take action — at the special 2008 11 Most Endangered section of our website.
