NPS Midwest Regional Office, Quinn Evans Architects, contractor, STRATA Architecture Inc., contractor. 2017. Youngsholm: Cultural Landscape Report / Environmental Assessment, Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument. Cultural Landscape Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
This document presents the Cultural Landscape Report and Environmental Assessment (CLR / EA) for Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument, an agrarian landscape and farmhouse in central Ohio. The site conveys significance as the home of Charles Young (1864-1922), a US Army commander of Buffalo Soldiers, diplomat, and social reformer. Persistence of fundamental features of the cultural landscape, despite evolution under multiple owners, attests to the enduring importance of Col. Young and the relationship of his family to the place they called "Youngsholm." The CLR / EA presents detailed documentation of Youngshom's landscape development, evaluation of existing conditions, analysis of landscape characteristics, determination of contributing features, and treatment recommendations. Evaluations of potential impacts associated with treatment alternatives are incorporated into the report to comply with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. This CLR / EA provides an understanding of the homestead in the context of the surrounding fields and woodlands and provides a basis for utilizing the setting to support interpretation of stories about the Young family's activities and the evolution of Youngsholm.
