It starts at Lakeview and ends at Lakeview. And basically, Tom will point out some of the historic buildings in Jamesburg, who lived there, and their relationship to Jamesburg history. He'll also point out the locations of some buildings that no longer exist.

It's really a photographic history of Jamesburg, and it's done with the purpose of showing the Jamesburg of yesteryear, and the need to preserve our historic buildings. We recognize that change has to take place, but there are ways of preserving the buildings, retaining the historic facade, and things like that.

I've never seen Lakeview like this. I've been here five years now, and we're seeing bigger crowds than we've ever seen around here. The whole Lakeview community is really psyched up about this.

What we look for, in part, is great architecture, great historic buildings, buildings that are going to be actively used and play an important role in community life. Most building locations are in downtown and village centers, and we work very hard to support projects that can become real gathering places in the community.

It has been very successful. We look for nice buildings in good locations. . . . We buy the buildings and put money into fixing them up.

We would like to get the buildings into good enough shape so tourists and children can enjoy looking at them. At some point, we would like to even furnish them in a period manner.

It's making us look at the way we can preserve the history of the coast. We've lost major character-defining buildings. These were buildings that defined the community.

People coming from Lakeview Drive have trouble getting out at that intersection. I just came from there and seven cars were lined up waiting. This is the traffic situation in December. There are even longer waits in the summer.

We've got major street blockage. There's buildings down. We've got boats in buildings and all the traffic signals are gone, ... We've got buildings wide open all throughout the city.

If you want to build the condos, that's fine, but to get rid of a cultural asset makes no sense. Don't destroy these buildings indirectly by leaving only the facades. It's a hypocrisy to say you want to preserve the history to then gut the buildings.

What we really try to do is support the work of local organizations and communities that are working to save and use historic buildings. What we're going to do is celebrate that work with the event Saturday. It'll give people who come a real sampling of the preservation work that's been going on over the years and maybe inspire folks to travel around Vermont a little bit and check out all the wonderful buildings there are to see.
