My New Hampshire: New Hampshire’s Five Year Preservation Plan, 2016-2020

2016. My New Hampshire: New Hampshire’s Five Year Preservation Plan, 2016-2020. New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources, State Historic Preservation Office, Department of Cultural Resources, State of New Hampshire

From executive summary: "We are now approaching the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act, and fortunately, despite growing pains, there is plenty to celebrate in New Hampshire. Pioneering efforts, such as those at Historic Harrisville, the New England Glassworks, and Canterbury Shaker Village, have laid the groundwork for steady progress across the state. This edition of the state preservation plan provides an opportunity to reflect on what we have accomplished specifically in the last five years and to envision where we would like to be in 2020. This plan is the result of a great deal of public outreach and analysis, and it opens with an explanation of how listening sessions, conference presentations, and an online questionnaire gathered data from a wide cross-section of the state. The narrative then provides a snapshot of New Hampshire today – the heritage, traditions, people, and resources that together drive our preservation movement. The plan then assesses how a dozen major themes benefit and challenge the preservation of historic and cultural resources. Concluding the plan are goals, objectives and strategies that together create a path to 50 more years of preservation successes. Illustrating and illuminating all of this information are photographs submitted to the My New Hampshire photosharing campaign and a series of case studies written by preservation advocates from across the state. My New Hampshire, sponsored by the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources, produced more than a hundred images of favorite historical places; many of these are showcased in the plan and grace the front and back covers. The 21 case studies provide real-world successes, advice and inspiration for preservationists grappling with similar challenges or working with comparable resources." Funding was provided in part by a 2016 Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the New Hampshire State Historic Preservation Office (project number NH-16-028, grant number P16AF00149) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
