Washington, D.C. (June 14, 2007) – America’s priceless heritage is at risk—from the storied
waterfronts of Brooklyn to the neon-clad mom-and-pop motels of Route 66—some of America’s
most irreplaceable landmarks are threatened. In Idaho, the hallowed remnants of a World War II-era
internment camp are at risk due to planned expansion of an adjacent large-scale animal feeding
operation, while in New Mexico, a pristine portion of the 16th century El Camino Real—the oldest
Euro-American trade route in the United States—faces a very 21st century threat; the proposed
development of a Spaceport. Meanwhile, budget cutbacks are also wreaking havoc on historic
resources across the country: In Missouri, shortfalls at the U.S. Forest Service have imperiled more
than 70 historic structures at Mark Twain National Forest, and in California, sacred structures at
Stewart’s Point Rancheria—home to the Kashia Pomo Indians—are sliding into disrepair due to
chronic funding inadequacies at federal Tribal Historic Preservation Offices.
These are just some of the 11 sites the National Trust for Historic Preservation today named to its
2007 list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. “The sites on this year’s list of America’
s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places embody the diversity and complexity of America’s story, and
the variety of threats that endanger it,” said Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for
Historic Preservation. “The places on this year’s list span the continent and encompass the breadth
of the American experience. Each one is enormously important to our understanding of who we are
as a nation and a people.”
