The historic houses and buildings of Ashland help make our City unique and
provide links with aspirations and attainment of the City's pioneers and their
descendants.
These fine examples of 19th and early 20th century buildings contribute to an
appreciation of our heritage.
· Preservation of these ties with our history helps avoid a sameness that in some
communities makes for a feeling of rootlessness and lack of sense of place.
National Historic Preservation Week provides an opportunity to recognize the
value of Ashland's historic resources and encourages their preservation for
future generations.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council and Mayor, on behalf of the citizens of
Ashland, hereby proclaim the week of May 5 - 12, 2003 as
"NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION WEEK"
and call upon the people of Ashland to recognize and participate in this
observance.
Dated this 6th day of May, 2003
Alan W. DeBoer, Mayor
Barbara Christensen, City Recorder
