Abstract
  • One indication of the evolution of the preservation movement is the increased attention paid to gas stations, bungalows and humble farm houses, often termed "vernacular" resources. To those more accustomed to the idea of preserving sites linked to great American heros and events, this shift may seem bewildering. Here, Larson describes the forces which have broadened the field's focus and presents a framework with which communities can understand and work with the resources that strengthen their individual cultural identity.
