Preserving elements of our history all while continuing to address the needs of the future is a tricky endeavor for planners. We don’t always get it right but strive to achieve a good balance. The Honorable Sara Bronin is the current Chair of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and a professor at Cornell University. Her efforts are helping shed more light on the ways we can ensure we don’t forget our past by addressing historic sites, buildings, and more.

THE WHISKeY PAIRING
Most distilleries were wiped out with Prohibition, which makes the distilling facilities that survived even more special. That’s why we went with Woodford Reserve for this episode about historic preservation. Distilling has occurred on their site since 1812, earning it designation as a National Historic Landmark and a place on the National Register of Historic Places.
