Pennsylvania at Risk

Pennsylvania at Risk is published annually by Preservation Pennsylvania. This list is a representative sampling of the variety and richness of our Commonwealth's historic properties and the types and severity of threats they face. This list is compiled from recommendations made by our members, local heritage organizations, the board and staff of Preservation Pennsylvania, and the Bureau for Historic Preservation, Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
