young movement in the united states generally the preservation of objects and buildings has been connected either with organizations seeking to honor illustrious ancestors or with plain antipreservation for most people has been seen as an exotic and even quixotic movement of little practical value such attitudes stood in marked contrast to those of europeans who had long devoted both public and private efforts to the preservation of the past americans in ever greater numbers began searching for their own past during the troubled decade of the 1960s this heightened interest in the american heritage led large numbers of americans to an active involvement in historical preservation just as it led to the widespread pursuit of qu quarians arians ffamily amily genealogy the state of utah witnessed a number of important battles for historic preservation by studying what occurred in utah during the 1960s and 1970s we may be able to understand in microcosm something of the larger national movements yet there were some important differences between utah and the nation too for example in utah the hardest fought of the preservation battles involved mormon pioneer tabernacles a subject of intense religious as well as cultural interest to the predominantly mormon populace of the state so spirited did the struggles become that they led to the development of new institutions such as the utah heritage foundation the utah historical society was moved to assume a far more active role in preservation and there was even the participation of the federal government based upon the federal historic preservation act of 1966 As in the case of the national battles for historic preservation utahns utahna vehemently debated the individual issues from two separate perspectives each of them based upon a different conception of the idea of progress for progress meant shiny new edifices of steel and some glass for others progress meant coming to terms with ones own pioneer heritage and learning to live in peace 1I intend to show these two conflicting with the past theories of progress in operation 1I also hope to suggest a possible way of reconciling them CHAPTER 1I NATIONAL TRENDS IN HISTORIC preservation development of early national trends the roots of historic preservation in america trace back to the nineteenth century the first public attempt to preserve a historic building was made in 1850 when the state of new york purchased the hasbrouck house the last headquarters of george washington during the american revolu1 since that time historic preservation has broadened tion to encompass culturally and historically significant homes commercial buildings government buildings churches and archeological sites its activities transpire on the national state and local levels while examining national trends in historic preser breser vation one notes two different types of activity one type noted in the example of the hasbrouck house involves public ownership and control over the historic properties in question the other type developing later but becoming more significant involves private ownership and control my represents most clearly the contention that is latter it the course of future development to the extent that historic preservation in the europe from draws inspiration there are united states its three different kinds of influence the french model is one in which the national government plays a dominant role the english model by contrast is one in which private activity is more important conceivably cultural ties between the united states and england may account for the importance of the private entrepreneur in american preser breser vation activities the third model is swedish and is best exemplified in the swedish institution of the outdoor museum where an entire community is reconstructed in such a way as to allow visitors to view its historical life and operation the living history movement of the 1960s clearly derives from the swedish experience but all three kinds of activity are to be found on the american scene today tb thee vation first major private venture in was launched in south carolina cunningham in december of 1853 stirring appeal to the women vernon and on march 17 1856 historic preser breser by ann pamela miss cunningham wrote a of the south to save mount the state of virginia chart ered her organization as the mount vernon ladies association miss cunningham was then able to persuade of the union john washington the owner of mount vernon to sell the estate to the tha for 200000 later as regent of the organization cunningham elaborated a national structure with viceregents vice regents in thirty states by december of 1859 the MVLAU had almost cleared mount vernon of debt and a drive was launched to MVLAU permanently endow the property war the the civil after cunningham organization succeeded in bringing in the federal government as a partner in its activities it even set up an archive of resource materials from which other preservation societies could draw by means of this archive the influence of the MVLAU extended well into the twentieth century the experience of the MVLAU demonstrated that an historical preservation society needed to be well organized needed to cultivate widespread moral and financial support think in terms of an endowment in perpetuity in order to really insure the permanence of its work finally the MVLAU experience showed that cooperation between public and private effort was not only possibly but eminently desirable no other preservation society of the nineteenth century achieved the size or the success of the MVLAU the reasons for their failure are instructive for example when a mrs william H holstein set up an organization to washingtons headquarters at valley forge save the site of washington she discovered that public attitudes were appreciably cooler toward a building whose use had been purely functional as and needed to opposed to mount vernon an historic home and when the ladies heritage association of nashville attempted to rescue the hermitage andrew jacksons old plantation it learned a one of them was that merely pre few lessons of its own serving an historical monument was considerably less 199 crew by razing at tabernacle attacked coalville alville county Co summit march bee utah

historic preservation in utah from 1960 to 1980 has reflected major national trends and trends peculiar to utah the most important event which increased the influence of the federal government in preservation activities in utah was the passage of the federal historic preservation act of 1966 this law influenced the utah state historical society to become active in preservation in utah the battles to save the L D S tabernacles in the 1960s and 1970s led to the formation of the utah heritage foundation this organization has been responsible for the heightened awareness of h1storic
