The 34th Annual Rhode Island Statewide Historic Preservation Conference program: Preservation, Recreation, and Sport
2019. The 34th Annual Rhode Island Statewide Historic Preservation Conference program: Preservation, Recreation, and Sport. Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission; City of East Providence; East Providence Historical Society
Welcome: "Welcome to Preservation, Recreation and Sport, Rhode Island's 34th Annual Statewide Historic Preservation Conference, and the first hosted by East Providence. Rhode Islanders and visitors to the Ocean State love to play in historic places. The state's coastal resort towns have welcomed generations of summer visitors seeking rest and relaxation. Our cities erected large-scale sports venues for professional teams - and their adoring fans. Every community built school gyms, little league fields, and public recreation facilities. By balancing historic preservation with the demands of the 21st century, these sites continue to play an active role in our lives." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P18AF00034).
