The National Trust for Historic Preservation recently released its listing of America's eleven "Most Endangered Historic Places".
"I think that is a dynamic of being human; at the same time we look back at the things which have meaning for us...but at the same time - because we are human - we want to press on."
It includes sites from Maine to Alaska, and Montana's
historic rural schoolhouses joined the list.
