ONLINE - Black Point Estate: A Preservation Success Story
To celebrate National Historic Preservation Month, we are pleased to present this online program focusing on the extraordinary Black Point Estate, located on the shore of Geneva Lake in Wisconsin.
Historic preservation is difficult under the best of circumstances. During this presentation you will learn how Black Point was preserved despite numerous challenges, including legal opposition, over a ten year period. Since 2005, it has been owned and operated by the Wisconsin Historical Society, which opens it seasonally for tours. You will also learn what amazing architecture was lost around Geneva Lake and why historic preservation can be an asset to any community.
