New Hampshire's Seven to Save

The New Hampshire Preservation Alliance created SEVEN TO SAVE in 2006 to focus attention and resources on significant historic properties in New Hampshire that are threatened by neglect, deterioration, insufficient funds, inappropriate development, and/or insensitive public policy. 

Nominations are solicited starting in the spring with a closing date in early September.  Criteria for selection include: historical significance, imminence of threat, and potential impact of listing a site.  The announcement of the Seven to Save list is made at the Alliance's Annual Meeting in mid-October. The program's design is based on the Eleven Most Endangered List sponsored by National Trust for Historic Preservation, which named the Daniel Webster Farm in Franklin to its 2005 list.

Advocates for these threatened places garner priority attention from the Alliance's Field Services program, and the Seven to Save sites frequently gain other important publicity and funding benefits from this designation. A range of technical and financial resources, as well as roll-up-your-sleeves help, are needed to advance these preservation projects. If you'd like to know more, please refer to the yearly lists for contact information.
