Dear Preservationist,

Today, Preservation Pennsylvania

announces its Pennsylvania At Risk 2010 list. Eleven historic resources in our Commonwealth have been carefully selected for inclusion, and while the threats This Place Matters may differ, the danger remains the same: the possible loss of yet another site of significance.

A sampling of At Risk resources is highlighted on the left. For a full listing of this year's resources, please

Thank you to the individuals, groups, and communities who nominated significant sites for the 2010 At Risk list. And thank you everyone who works to protect places that matter in our Commonwealth, both this year and every year. Your passion and persistence are an inspiration to us all.

Melinda Crawford
Executive Director
