2010 America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places® Nomination Guidelines

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has posted their Nomination Guidelines for the Top 10 Most Endangered Historic Places. All Nominees must be in by January 8, 2010. You can click here to nominate a piece of American History that could be lost forever!

"America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places has identified more than 200 threatened one-of-a-kind historic treasures since 1988. Whether these sites are urban districts or rural landscapes, Native American landmarks or 20th-century sports arenas, entire communities or single buildings, the list spotlights historic places across America that are threatened by neglect, insufficient funds, inappropriate development or insensitive public policy. The designation has been a powerful tool for raising awareness and rallying resources to save endangered sites from every region of the country. At times, that attention has garnered public support to quickly rescue a treasured landmark; while in other instances, it has been the impetus of a long battle to save an important piece of our history."
