The National Trust for Historic Preservation is the nation's premiere organization dedicated to the preservation of America's structural treasures.
Headquartered in Washington D.C., this group has been fighting for our country's significant homes and buildings since it was established by U.S. Congressional charter in 1949.
What an honor it is then, that the National Trust is currently featuring Peoria as part of its "This Place Matters" feature on the NTHP website.
The slide show of significant structures was provided by the Central Illinois Landmarks Foundation.
This national exposure for our local treasures is surely a good thing. Perhaps it will garner some tourism from history buffs who will want to come see our historic city in person.
After all, this slide show is only a fraction of what Peoria has to offer!
