Save It! The Case for Historic Preservation

What is historic preservation and how can any resident or visitor
be a part of it? Arizona's State Historic Preservation Officer,
Kathryn Leonard, joins us on the show to share.

We discuss the many sides of historic preservation, from the
ideological perspective of anchoring us to our past and providing
tangible ways for future generations to understand it, all the
way to the practical side, including laws, tax breaks, economic
benefits, and more.

As far as who can be a part of preservation efforts? If you find
value in a sense of place (and who doesn't?), congratulations!
Kathryn makes the case that this is all you need to be a
preservationist.
