Our friends at Historic York recently launched an initiative to catalog the places that matter in York County. “The Place Matters” is the theme of Preservation Month, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Residents are encouraged to photograph the places that matter to them, and send the photos to Historic York, Inc. The places can be buildings or sites, and a sign is available for downloading from the organization’s Web site. Many people have photographed themselves standing in front of the places that matter, holding the sign. For information and to see which places have been submitted thus far, visit Historic York’s Web site at www.historicyork.org.
