This is the second of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's 11 Most Endangered places list for 2008. Always a good thing to raise public awareness. When the NTHP speaks, folks tend to listen more.
The danger is not to one park, but to all 278 statewide. Fifty-one are considered to be historical state parks. The threats come from deterioration, neglect and poor public planning.
The governor, whose last name I will not attempt to spell originally proposed a 10% decrease in funding, but under pressure, restored most of the funds.
One park that would have been affected is the 1820s Franciscan La Purisima Mission near Compoc which was restored by the CCC during the Great Depression.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
