Item Description

America in the 1960s faced many challenges to its basic value systems as change affected every aspect of American life. Cities were abandoned for sprawling suburbs, and a sense of rootlessness became pervasive. It was in this climate that in 1966, a Special Committee on Historic Preservation published "With Heritage So Rich," a collection of essays that defined the state of historic preservation in the nation. By studying private preservation efforts, European landmark legislation and U.S. government policy to date, the committee sought to define a direction and create a plan to secure the future conservation of America's historic places. Updated in 1999 to honor the Trust's 50th anniversary, this publication is still listed as one of the fundamental works on Historic Preservation. Comes with a National Trust tote bag.
