Senator Bridal honored as Preserve Nevada marks 25 years of historic preservation

Nevada's historic preservation efforts took a significant step forward at the recent Historic Preservation Commission meeting, where the spotlight shone on the 25th anniversary of Preserve Nevada. Established as a response to the state's lack of a statewide historic preservation organization, Preserve Nevada has become a vital resource for protecting and promoting the state's historical sites.

Senator Bridal, a key figure in the creation of Preserve Nevada, was recognized for his two decades of leadership and advocacy in the preservation movement. The organization, in partnership with the University of Nevada Las Vegas, has made strides in public education, notably through its annual list of endangered sites. This year, the list has expanded to include 12 historic locations, highlighting significant sites such as the Hunteridge Theater and the Mormon Fort State Park.

The meeting underscored the importance of these efforts, with Senator Bridal receiving an advocacy award from the city's historic preservation office, marking a celebration of his contributions to preserving Nevada's rich history. As the organization continues to raise awareness and provide advocacy opportunities, the future of Nevada's historic sites looks promising.
