We are very excited to follow the developments in St. Joseph with the National Park Service! #nationalhistorictrail #stjoemo #missourihistory #Repost @laurenellenmarie with @get_repost ・・・ “You can feel that. You can feel that this was a very, very important place here in St. Joseph.” -Aaron Mahr, National Park Service HISTORIC RESOURCES IN MISSOURI STATE PARKS all over the state are facing severe neglect due to funding limitations. Some sites include the Philip Kaes Homestead and Cemetery in Castlewood State Park (StL County), Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) structures in Sam A. Baker State Park (Wayne County) and CCC structures, early settlers homesteads and cemeteries in Dr. Edmund A. Babler State Park (StL County). Deferred maintenance due to budgets and park leadership is an issue that needs to be addressed by the Missouri State Park system to ensure these many historic resources remain for generations to come. Pictured: Phillip Kayes House (Castlewood), entrance to one of the cemeteries and one of the abandoned CCC structures (Babler) #2018placesinperil #ccc #thisplacematters #mostateparks #civilianconservationcorps #historiccemetery #missourihistory The ROUTE 66 GASCONADE RIVER BRIDGE in Laclede County, near Hazelgreen is a three-span through truss structure designed by MO Highway Department and built between 1922 and 1924. It is one of few remaining bridges built in the 1920s, and before the Federal Aid Highway Act (which est. a national highway system in 1925). The bridge was permanently closed to traffic in 2014. Recently, the Route 66 Gasconade River Guardians received a matching grant for $6,000 and is currently pursuing an engineering assessment of the bridge. When completed, they hope to find a new owner. Otherwise, MoDOT has plans to begin demolition in March 2019. #2018placesinperil #thisplacematters #modot #historicbridges #rte66 #route66 #gasconaderiverbridge #gasconaderiver #trussbridge #illinoissteelcompany #route66missouri @route66official #savethisbridge The OLD NEVADA POST OFFICE BUILDING in Nevada, Vernon County was built in 1910 and functioned as a post office until 1961, when it was turned into an office for the Sheriff’s Department and the county jail. In 2012, the building was auctioned off as surplus property and since then has sat empty with little maintenance. It is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and the current owner wishes to sell to an interested developer. The owners information can be found on the press release on preservemo.org #2018placesinperil #historicpostoffice #usps #thisplacematters #missourihistory #missouriarchitecture
