Historic Preservation

Have you ever hiked, paddled, or ridden on horseback by an old homestead in the Buffalo National River area and wondered what stories it could tell of the pioneer family that built and occupied it? What were their names and their way of life along the Buffalo River? Maybe you are concerned about the deteriorating condition of an old house and outbuildings, and the risk of losing the history of these early pioneers.

Well, Buffalo National River Partners feel the same way! We are kicking off a preservation project fundraiser to assist the National Park Service fund the restoration of some of these historic sites. Since the NPS has limited funds in their budget for historic preservation, BNRP, along with your volunteerism and donations, are making preservation of historic buildings and places in the park part of our mission.
