This year marks the 50th
anniversary of the National
Historic Preservation Act which
protects landmarks from harm
caused by federally funded
projects. The law helped us
save Morris-Butler House and
the church that became Indiana
Landmarks Center when they
were threatened by the con-
struction of I-65 in the ‘60s.
Meaningful Milestones
AS WE EMBARK ON THE CELEBRATIONS accompanying Indiana’s
bicentennial year, let us remember another important milestone: the 50th
anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act.

Act—this legislation brought historic preservation into the modern era. Created At the restored Greyhound
