Virginia's Most Endangered Historic Sites Program recognizes the Commonwealth's irreplaceable, architectural, natural, and archaeological sites that face imminent threat by demolition, alteration, inappropriate development, insufficient funding, or neglect. These special "places" play an important role in Virginia's heritage and should be recognized before it is too late.
