America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places has identified more than 230 threatened one-of-a-kind historic treasures since 1988. The designation has been a powerful tool for raising awareness and rallying resources to save endangered sites from every region of the country. At times, that attention has garnered public support to quickly rescue a treasured landmark; while in other instances, it has been the impetus of a long battle to save an important piece of our history.
