State Historic Preservation Office celebrates
Glacier National Park
Centennial 1910-2010
Glacier National Park was established in 1910 and is home to several National Historic Landmarks including the Going-to-the-Sun Road. The road, bridges, tunnels, culverts, retaining walls, and almost 40,000 feet of guardwalls, were built between 1921 and 1932. The Park officially opened the Going-to-the-Sun Road in 1933. The current rehabilitation of the road is one of the largest on-going preservation projects undertaken by the Park Service.

NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION
National Preservation Month : Old is the New Green
The theme for 2010's National Preservation Month is Old is the New Green. Preservation Month raises awareness about the power historic preservation has to protect and enhance our communities and the places that really matter to us. Celebrate the diverse and unique heritage of our country's cities and towns and become a part of the growing preservation movement. Browse the new features of this interactive website for ways that you can get involved today!
For more than 50 years, the National Trust has been helping Americans protect the irreplaceable. A private nonprofit organization with more than 200,000 members, the National Trust is the leader of the vigorous preservation movement that is saving the best of the country's past for the future.
The need for the National Trust has increased since its founding in 1949. When historic buildings and neighborhoods are torn down or allowed to deteriorate, a part of our past disappears forever. When that happens, we lose history that helps us know who we are, and we lose opportunities to live and work in the kinds of interesting and attractive surroundings that older buildings can provide.
These goals are reflected in the Trust's mission statement:
The National Trust for Historic Preservation is a privately funded non-profit organization that provides leadership, education, advocacy, and resources to save America's diverse historic places and revitalize our communities.
