July 4th, 2010... close to 200 folks showed their support for the 1904 former Fir Lodge... now called the Homestead Restaurant. The street was closed off, Paul Dorpat and Jean Sherrard stood on the second floor of the apartment across the street and took a myriad of photographs to document the moment. The National Trust for Historic Preservation (http://www.preservationnation.org/) developed this community-friendly method of getting involved in your history. Go ahead and visit the site and see the images sent in of all the locations around the country that have meaning within their community. Feel free to print out your own "This Place Matters" sign, stand proudly in front of your fave spot wherever that may be... and then send it off to the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
