The Power of Main Street

The National Trust for Historic Preservation is a private, nonprofit membership organization dedicated to saving historic places and revitalizing America's communities. Their 2010 National Main Streets conference will be held in Oklahoma City May 2-5. Information about the organization and the conference can be accessed on their website as well as some great information and links to Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios; Historic Hotels of America and other National Trust Historic Sites. The city of St. Louis is listed as a 2010 Distinctive Destination, a program recognizing “cities and towns that offer an authentic visitor experience by combining dynamic downtowns, cultural diversity, attractive architecture, cultural landscapes and a strong commitment to historic preservation, sustainability and revitalization.”
