Distinctive Destinations for 2007
Each year the National Trust for Historic Preservation designates a
dozen distinctive places for Americans to visit. According to Richard Moe,
president of the National Trust, “The communities named to this list are
pockets of serenity amid the sprawl, clutter, and homogenization that have
overwhelmed so many American vacation spots.” Each of the 12 cities and
towns met a number of important criteria, including well-managed growth, a
protected historic core, interesting architecture, a flourishing local
small business community, and easy walking access.
These 12 cities and towns (in alphabetical order by city) are:
- Charlottesville, Va.
- Chatham, Mass.
- Chestertown, Md.
- Durango, Colo.
- Ellensburg, Wash.
- Hillsborough, N.C.
- Little Rock, Ark.
- Mineral Point, Wis.
- Morgantown, W. Va.
- Providence, R.I.
- West Hollywood, Calif.
- Woodstock, Ill.
