Zusammenfassung
The field of historic preservation, until recently, overlooked rural communities in its
mission to preserve historic resources. While the preservation community begins to
focus more on landscape preservation and rural areas, there still exists a lack of
information and understanding of the places, the people and their needs. This terminal
project addresses the issue of preservation in deep rural communities through a single indepth
case study in the form of a Historic Resources Study of Petroleum County,
Montana. This Historic Resources Study (HRS) has laid the groundwork for future
preservation activities in Petroleum County in three ways. First, it presents a broad
history of the area from which to gain knowledge of the local history and understanding
of how and why the historic resources are there. Second, it supplies an identification and
explanation of a selection of both rural and urban historic resources. Finally, it provides
an overview of historic preservation and many of the programs that have been successful
in rural places. In addition, it gives a list of recommendations for historic preservation
action in Petroleum County and contributes to a heritage education program by providing
a lesson plan for the Winnett High School.
