From the July-August Preservation Magazine of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Being a road-sort of a person, preservation is a major part of my agenda. The more we can keep the old roads old, the better.
They wrote more about them and you can find even more information at their website.
BLACK MOUNTAIN, LYNCH AND BENHAM, KENTUCKY-- Called "Bloody Harlan" in eastern Kentucky because of turbulent labor wars. Coal companies seeking permits to strip, auger and deep mine.
INDUSTRIAL ARTS BUILDING-- LINCOLN, NEBRASKA-- Opened 1913 at the Nebraska State Fair. suffering from years of neglect and deferred maintenance.
SAUGATUCK DUNES-- SAUGATUCK, MICHIGAN-- On Michigan's west coast. Really beautiful but in danger from development.
AMERICA'S STATE PARKS AND STATE-OWNED HISTORIC SITES-- With every state that I know of in fiscal straits, funding for these is drying up.
Old Roads and Preservation Just Go Together. --RoadDog
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.
