State Parks, Historic Sites, and Museums need your help.

Throughout the country, important state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, museums, and similar institutions are in trouble. Because of high gasoline prices and general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Most operate on a thin margin and will not weather these hard times without your help.

Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please find a worthy historic site or museum that is in financial danger and donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep these parks open. It will be your loss.

London Bridge

My father, brother, and I drove through in the summer of 1988.

About 1970, London Bridge did not fall down. It was carefully disassembled, transported half way around the world, and rebuilt on the Arizona shore of the Colorado River at Lake Havasu City. The relocated bridge was dedicated on October 10, 1971 with many British and Arizona officials participating. There were controversies such as why do it at all and whether coins in the foundation were part of the bridge that was sold, or the foundation that stayed. Today a small Old London themed shopping center surrounds one end of the bridge that connects to an island that was created by dredging a channel to go under the bridge.
