40 Under 40: Places Stories

These stories highlight 40 of the most important, most interesting, and quirkiest American places 40 years old or less. The by-no-means comprehensive list includes sites both well-known and obscure, high-end and low-budget, and urban and rural. Why highlight newer sites now? Because by looking at them through a preservation lens, we can be proactive about their futures.

This May, our Preservation Month theme is “People Saving Places” to shine the spotlight on everyone doing the work of saving places—in big ways and small—and inspiring others to do the same!
