Description

Explore the history of American heritage conservation with this detailed look at the preservation of U.S. properties. This book examines the period in the 1950s when rapid modernization and a growing post-World War II economy threatened the existence of many significant historical sites across the United States. Learn how these threats to the nation's past led to a major legislative shift. The text covers the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), signed into law by President Johnson on October 15, 1966. This landmark act established the national preservation structure that protects thousands of locations today. By studying the impact of the NHPA, readers gain insight into how these efforts make communities richer from economic, cultural, and aesthetic perspectives. This work is an essential resource for those interested in how civilizations and cultures are maintained through organized preservation efforts.
