Preserving Landscapes: Looking Beyond the Building

This workshop is suited for cultural resource professionals with a beginning to intermediate knowledge of cultural landscapes. Attendees will look at the four basic types of landscapes, Historic Designed, Historic Vernacular, Historic Sites, and Ethnographic. Using the knowledge about Cultural Landscape Reports and Cultural Landscape Inventories gained early in the workshop, attendees will then learn how to evaluate and recommend treatment that meets the Secretary of Interior Standards. The workshop will close with a mobile session that will split into four groups for field work at Exposition Park.
