Nearly 20,000 people cast their votes from Hampton Hotels‘ 2010 Save-A-Landmark program. Marking its 10th anniversary next year, the program will restore the following landmarks:
- Riverside International Speedway, West Memphis, Arkansas. Built in 1950, Riverside International Speedway is the oldest continually operated dirt track in the state of Arkansas, and one of the oldest in the U.S. Since then, it has hosted a variety of race car classes such as Midget race cars, sprint cars, and stock cars. Today, the track welcomes racers and visitors every weekend from March to November.
- Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer, Grand Island, Nebraska. Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer offers a hands-on living history experience that tells the story of early town building in Nebraska, as American settlers moved west to explore our country further. Stuhr Museum is a world-class, nationally recognized educational and cultural institution, and an outdoor living history museum.
- Wheeler Historic Farm, Salt Lake City, Utah. The Wheeler Historic Farm is a restoration of a turn-of-the-century dairy farm. It was placed on both the Utah State and National Register of Historic Places in 1976 after opening as a project of the Bicentennial of the American Revolution. The farm’s living history presents the history of Utah family agriculture and the best farming methods of the Progressive Era. Historic demonstrations and exhibits are just a few of the things that will take you back in time.
- St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, St. Johnsbury, Vermont. The St. Johnsbury Athenaeum is a private, nonprofit public library and art gallery. The Athenaeum is a legacy of the Fairbanks Family of St. Johnsbury, inventors and manufacturers of the world’s first platform scale, who gave the Athenaeum to the town of St. Johnsbury in 1871.
