Through a series of compelling essays, Historic Preservation in Indiana shows us both the far-reaching ripples of one person's singular endeavors, and what can be accomplished when entire communities ride waves of preservation education and triumphs. -Demetra Aposporos , Editor-in-Chief, Old-House Journal This is a must-read for anyone seeking to save meaningful places. This collection of fine essays on historic preservation motivates, provokes, and inspires the reader to become engaged with their own built environment. The authors collectively profile the challenges and solutions of revitalizing neighborhoods and downtowns, as well as our agricultural and industrial surroundings. -Mark Dollase , Vice President of Preservation Services, Indiana Landmarks If you've ever wondered about some of our historic buildings that were almost lost, take a look at Historic Preservation in Indiana. If you've ever wanted a powerfully written book to explain that pride in history, take a look at Historic Preservation in Indiana. -Little Indiana This volume will provide interested readers, in Indiana and elsewhere, an introduction to a variety of approaches to and venues for historic preservation. Useful as a resource for local historic preservation socieites or for the interested newcomer, it would also make a fine contribution to a college course in historic preservation or public history. Largely eschewing theory and technical discussions, all of the essays are accessible and most are quite readable, while showing careful consideration of significant issues. -Northwest Ohio History
