I am conducting research on historic preservation for an upcoming presentation. Any information on historic homes and properties that conduct preservation and restoration efforts in unique ways would be helpful. In particular, I am looking for case studies of historic properties that may not be state-run, but instead are owned by private trusts or owned by private owners and kept open to the public. This information will help me identify how different forms of historic properties meet the challenges of running and financing their preservation efforts. * Scott Stevens * The Biltmore Company * [log in to unmask] * voice mail (704) 255-1733
