To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act on 1966, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation created a series of short videos featuring personal stories about historic places. Each #WeAreNY video captures the strong emotional connections that New Yorkers have to their hometowns and heritage. They highlight how historic places establish a community’s identity and sense of place as well as enrich our lives, and that these special places are the cornerstones of our shared memories.
