Historic, Cultural & Scenic Resources
1 Chapter Four: Historic, Cultural & Scenic Resources 2 3 I. HISTORIC & SCENIC RESOURCES 4 Preserving historic, archeological, and scenic resources enables communities to retain links to their past, 5 maintain their traditions (including quality of life), and can bring economic benefits through increased 6 property values and tourism. Indeed, there are federal and state programs to assist communities with 7 preservation. Tourism has been increasingly beneficial for much of the New England region, and particularly 8 for Vermont due to its abundance of scenic resources. The Northeast Kingdom is fortunate to have 9 communities that have already identified some of their assets and protected a significant number of historic 10 resources. These include historic districts, a large number of historic buildings, archeological sites, covered 11 bridges, barns, and areas of natural or scenic beauty. Despite the work that has already been done, there are 12 many historic, community buildings and meeting houses still in need of restoration and preservation. Table 13 4.1 gives some representation of the existing historic and cultural resources within the region.
