If You're Into History, You Gotta Love the National Trust

And YOU should join it. Since 1949, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has been fighting to preserve our rapidly disappearing landmarks. Landmark commercial buildings, historic homes, and even sacred battlefields are being bulldozed and knocked down at an alarming rate.

With the aid of members and strength of numbers, the NTHP has been able to save a lot of them.

All funding of this organization is private and membership is as low as $15. And, bi-monthly, you will receive the award-winning Preservation magazine.

It is estimated that through the main Street center alone, that over 88,700 buildings were saved.

I finally got around to putting my money where my mouth is and joined. Why don't you?
