Grant money was used to relocate log structures to a single piece of property to ‘preserve’ the structures and provide a place for events. No accountability for the long term success of these pet projects. The main house will probably fall any day. The property is no longer safe enough to even host an event. It angers me to see tax payer dollars wasted. Just a tiny example of a much larger problem.
@danette I hope the project close to you will have community support and will be maintained for future generations. I do think there is value in preserving history, and I’m sad that the project near me is beyond repair. My husband’s aunt and uncle donated the blacksmith building and it is still standing but filled with concrete blocks and metal barrels.
