Description

Foreword by Raymond Beecher

This remarkable volume brings a fresh, previously unseen view of the historical places and structures in Greene County. It is not about architecture as much as it is about people—the lives, accomplishments, personal tastes, and individual stories surrounding these 190 registered sites. The authors draw upon unparalleled access to published and unpublished sources, as well as personal testimony and oral family history to bring together a wealth of information not readily found elsewhere.

HISTORIC PLACES is a significant resource volume on the architectural, historical, and scenic strongpoints in Greene County for researchers and readers alike. It is the proud achievement of numerous dedicated members of the Greene County Historical Society’s Historical Register Committee. This volume highlights the extensive histories accumulated over the Committee’s nineteen year existence.
