value, but labeled the property as “eligible.”

She said that after the landowners voted against the move, the National Park Service decided to expand the amount of land included in the proposal from 3,000 to 14,500 acres.

“What this does is put on hold development of the land when federal money is used, which it almost always has to because of roads and housing loans. If your land is considered eligible for historic designation, it is under the same regulations as ii it were already designated,” she said.

Ms. Hansohn explained that in the Preservation Act, the National Park Service could make property eligible for an unlimited amount of time to save historic places from the bulldozers.

“The law had a specific reason and that was to stop things from happening to a piece of land or house until you could determine whether it was historic. That isn’t what they are doing. No one is studying this area, no official historians anyway. They just marked all of the 14,500 acres as eligible and plan to leave it that way so no development will occur,” said Ms. Hansohn.
