Additionally, the envisioned final <br />outcome offers an opportunity for children and adults to better understand their culture <br />and identity as Americans. <br />In closing, the members of the Historic Preservation Commission commend the staff, <br />volunteers and board of directors of the Trading Path Association for their current <br />endeavor, and look forward to assisting wherever possible as they proceed.
