I know there are differences in procedures from state to state, but she needs all the encouragement she can get! She has the First Founders Society behind her, but what she may need more than anything else is someone or some company with the capital to buy this property. It's for sale right now. Listers: Can you email a letter to the Officials of Middletown CT telling them you also desire these old (in this case abt 250 yrs old) homesteads be preserved and put on a historical registry? A property developer owns the land right now, and will put up a few houses in places that won't hurt the quality of the historical value, but if not protected pretty soon, all the outbuildings could be razed. These buildings are in remarkably good condition for being that old, too. Thanks. Something simple, like: "Please preserve and protect Historical Homesteads for future generations". She goes to another meeting May 22, and needs as many emails of this nature as possible (to take with her). Coralynn
