Georgia Department of Natural Resources
Our Mission
To promote the preservation and use of historic places for
a better Georgia.
Our Vis ion
Georgia will be a better place tomorrow than it is today, providing quality communities in which to live, work, learn and recreate. Historic places will be widely valued as irreplaceable resources that contribute to our heritage, our economy, our neighborhoods, and our sense of who we are as Georgians. Communities and the State will plan for growth and change that respect and include our historic places. Communities will possess the knowledge, the legal and financial tools, and the authority to decide how preservation and new development will relate to one another. There will still be distinctions between city and suburbs, developing areas and countryside. All Georgians will possess a greater understanding and appreciation of our shared heritage in all its variations. People and organizations throughout Georgia will work in partnership to preserve and use historic places. Georgia's communities, economy, environment, and people will be better because of the preservation of historic resources.

DECEMBER 1996 / JANUARY 1997
Ring in the Old!
For the last few years, HPD has belonged to an informal Adanta public relations organization, the Heritage Marketing Group. It is a loosely organized cooperative venture which includes representatives from a number of historical organizations in the Adanta area, ranging from the well established Adanta History Center to the volunteeer-based Gwinnett Historical Society. The initial goal of the Heritage Marketing Group was to bring together a number of local organizations to heighten public awareness of the architectural treasures of the Adanta area. By making each other a~are of all the activities oflocal historic groups and places, we have built ~ better understarlding bf t1)e many options available to Adantans and visitors to local historic sites. A significant achievement of the organization in the
last year is the publication Atlanta} Places of the Past, a beautiful brochure listing
eighteen significant historical sites in Adanta regularly open to the public. Financed in part with an HPD grant, this brochure was available in Adanta and at information sites throughout the state before and during the Olympics. It is also available from HPD upon request.
Especially during the holiday season when so many historical sites are open to the public, it is important to remember the inspiration these sites provide and the work of a few dedicated people that make these events possible. Communities throughout the state provide visual holiday goodies and bring a piece of our past to enrich our present. The opportunity to invoke the spirit of "a cottage Christmas" or visit the old courthouse decorated by the community's children is something we all try to include in our holiday schedules.
We congratulate our preservation partners in Georgia on their great work. We invite all of you to include a visit to the past in your holidays and throughout the year. It is an important part of your future as well!
