PUBLIC HEARING COMMENT
JOYCE VLAUN 12 WALLACE STREET WATERFORD
| am in full support to SAVE THE NEVINS COTTAGE. The location of
the NEVINS COTTAGE property to our Historical Town Green and Buildings will
enhance the existing site. NEVINS COTTAGE can offer Educational
opportunities as well as income producing venues already provided by the
Historical Society. The site presently presents as a living Museum offering
experiences enjoyed by all who visit and appreciate what is before them.
The preservation of our Towns History preserves our past while protecting our
History. For example, Waterford has a rich History of Quarries. How are we
preserving the important role these Quarries contributed to the many Granite
Projects in our Nation? Stories have been passed down through Generations
thus far but what about Generations? We need to tell these stories! History
needs to be preserved before it is LOST! Unless we Preserve Our History and
the Historical Buildings that ARE our History All will be lost for future generations.
We as a Town need to examine our obligation to Preserve THE NEVINS
COTTAGE and the NEVINS HISTORY. A ORIGINAL Hometown Treasure!
Thank You.
