Today, the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) announced the 2010 recipients of the State Historic Preservation Officer’s Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Historic Preservation – and 4Culture’s Destination Heritage was awarded the Outstanding Achievement in the Media category.
According to DAHP, Destination Heritage: A Guide to Historic Places around King County, is being celebrated as a multi-media project that “capitalizes on the preference of tourists to enjoy first hand experiences of local history and historic places.” The SHPO awards program recognizes persons, organizations, and projects that have achieved distinction in the field of historic preservation. Through a web site, printed guides, and cell phone tours, Destination Heritage provides tourist information on historic places around King County related to three themes: agriculture, industry, and maritime heritage. Check out the project’s website to download PDF guide, request that we mail you a printed guide, or to browse online.
Thanks to DAHP for this honor and congratulations to all the 2010 winners!
Destination Heritage was created by 4Culture with support from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Preserve America and King County.
