Historic Sites and Museums need your help.

Throughout the country, important historic sites, homes, buildings, and museums are in trouble. Because of the recent rise in gasoline prices and the general world-wide financial collapse, historic sites and museums are 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 local or distant historic site or museum that is in financial danger and donate your treasure, time, and talent.

There is only one world famous La Brea Tar Pits. The paleontology excavations in Hancock Park are the only excavations of their type in a metropolitan area anywhere in the world.

The Atreum is not really related to fossils, but is a quiet escape within the museum.
