It is interesting, in a discouraging way, how different states treat their 'history' both natural and man-made...California has been good about it but with the lack of funding lots of places are being closed which means vandalism and deterioration will be happening ):
Well Missouri doesn't put enough money into anything historical I'm afraid...a few years back they tore down the old mansion house that was used in the Judy Garland movie "Meet Me In St.Louis",it was a fantastic house,but no one wanted to save it!!
Can't save everything...I think we have a harder time "saving" things here in the States than in Europe 'cuz we build with wood rather than stone or bricks and wood takes so much more continuous care what with how easily it rots etc...
just didn't take care of them the way they should
have,such a sad loss of history.
