MPR Coverage of the 10 Most Endangered Program, and a Correction

Cathy Wurzer and Dominic Papatola discussed historic preservation during this morning’s broadcast on Minnesota Public Radio. Papatola spoke about Minnesota sites that have been named to the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. No Minnesota sites are on the list this year, but the National Trust and the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota have been actively working on issues related to the Fort Snelling Upper Post, which was on the national list in 2006. You’ll have to travel to South Dakota to visit the closest of this year’s 11 Most listings, the Human Services Center campus in Yankton.

Papatola announced that this year’s 10 Most Endangered Historic Places list will be unveiled in May, but he had the wrong information about the date. The listings will be announced on Thursday, May 7 at Midtown Global Market in Minneapolis. Regional press events will also be held in greater Minnesota: May 12 in St. Cloud and May 21 in Bemidji.
