New National Historic Landmarks for 2007

I have always been an advocate of experiencing the places you visit for business travel. Get out of the hotel bar and see a baseball game or visit some of our nation’s historic landmarks or go to a park. That being said, I was happy to read in The Lobby that there have been 10 new National Historic Landmarks dedicated by the Department of the Interior. That means 10 more places to check off your list. What are they?

1. Aline Barnsdall Complex (Hollyhock House) in Los Angeles, California
2. Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma
3. Naumkeag Estate in Berkshire Hills, Massachusetts
4. The House of Seven Gables Historic District in Salem, Massachusetts
5. The Washington Place in Honolulu, Hawaii
6. Beth Sholom Synagogue in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania
7. Field House in St. Louis, Missouri
8. Village of Mariemont, Hamilton County, Ohio
9. Central Utah Relocation Center Site (Topaz), Millard County, Utah
10. Fig Island, near Charleston, South Carolina
11. Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Ohio
12. The Hegeler-Carus Mansion, LaSalle, Illinois
