Participants' comments:

"I love telling people about this class...while the content originates in
Canada, it puts students into our own "backyards."  I learned so much about
my own local area and gained a new perspective on preservation and the built
environment."

"The range of readings and information was fantastic and will continue to be
invaluable in the future."
