National Trust?s List of 11 Most Endangered Places includes Route 66, Mount Vernon
Historic homes, iconic city squares, and the roadside wonders of Route 66 are all at risk The annual release of the National Trust for Historic Preservation?s Most Endangered list offers a unique opportunity to shine a spotlight on local preservation battles. This year, it also shows the variety and fragility of the national story, and the variety of ways that these important locations and homes can be put at risk.
The 2018 list covers a multitude of sites, from iconic American treasures such as Mount Vernon and even the roadside attractions that lined Route 66 to lesser-known but still vital homes of pioneering doctors and community. From docks to downtowns, these eclectic locations help underscore the variety in our national narrative. They also show the variety of risks that can rob us of our heritage, from encroaching development to hurricanes and storms. Some sites have been ignored and require patronage and preservation, while others?such as Route 66?just require additional government action to realize a unique preservation opportunity. Thankfully, inclusion on the list has typically been a huge asset, as only a few of the roughly 300 sites listed have been lost.
