The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’S Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century
The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’s Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David W. Young Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor Saul Cornell David Steigerwald Copyright by David W. Young 2009 Abstract This dissertation examines how public history and historic preservation have changed during the twentieth century by examining the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1683, Germantown is one of America’s most historic neighborhoods, with resonant landmarks related to the nation’s political, military, industrial, and cultural history. Efforts to preserve the historic sites of the neighborhood have resulted in the presence of fourteen historic sites and house museums, including sites owned by the National Park Service, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the City of Philadelphia. Germantown is also a neighborhood where many of the ills that came to beset many American cities in the twentieth century are easy to spot. The 2000 census showed that one quarter of its citizens live at or below the poverty line. Germantown High School recently made national headlines when students there attacked a popular teacher, causing severe injuries. Many businesses and landmark buildings now stand shuttered in community that no longer can draw on the manufacturing or retail economy it once did. Germantown’s twentieth century has seen remarkably creative approaches to contemporary problems using historic preservation at their core.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: THE BARNES FOUNDATION CELEBRATES FIVE YEARS ON THE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN PARKWAY WITH SERIES OF PROGRAMS AND EVENTS FOR THE PUBLIC Philadelphia, PA, June 12, 2017— The Barnes Foundation celebrates its fifth anniversary in the heart of Philadelphia with a constellation of special events and programs this fall that reflect the Barnes’s commitment to community engagement. Since moving to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in May 2012, the Barnes has welcomed more than 1.2 million visitors, sharing with the public an unparalleled art experience that fosters new ways of thinking about human creativity. Building upon the progressive vision of its founder, Dr. Albert C. Barnes, the Barnes has developed an expanding roster of programs and cultural partnerships designed to enrich the lives of audiences and provide a forum for exploring ideas of enduring relevance. “When the Barnes Foundation was established in 1922, it was among the most progressive cultural and educational institutions in the world. Dr. Barnes’s dual commitment to accessible arts education and to diversity, inclusion and social justice informed every aspect of its service,” says Thom Collins, executive director and president of the Barnes Foundation. “As we approach our centennial in 2022, and with the extraordinary assets and increased accessibility that came with our move to downtown Philadelphia, we have committed to re-establish sectoral leadership by evolving novel strategies to meet these core commitments in the 21st century and beyond.” A centerpiece of the fall season is the special exhibition Kiefer Rodin, which resonates with Dr. Barnes’s belief in artistic expression as an endless conversation between works of different times and places.
