Endangered Place to Community Asset: Updates on Three “11 Most Endangered” Historic Places"

For over 35 years, the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s annual list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places has highlighted places under threat across the United States. Placement on the 11 Most list can be a powerful tool for raising the profile of these important sites, helping them to attract attention, funding, and support.

Join Preservation Leadership Forum for a conversation about what happens after a site is placed on the 11 Most list. Hear from representatives of Harada House in Riverside, California (Listed in 2020), L.V. Hull Home and Studio in Kosciusko, Mississippi (Listed in 2023), and the Cindy Walker House in Mexia, Texas (Listed in 2024) about how these once private homes are being transformed into centers of community life, and learn from the challenges they have found along the way.

This webinar is produced in partnership with the National Trust’s Where Women Made History initiative, the Historic Artists' Homes and Studios program, and the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund.
