National Historic Landmark

Atalaya Internship at Huntington Beach State Park Throughout history, the idea of using interpretation and preservation in order to fully keep up a National Historic Landmark has always been very important. Without really putting in the work to make such landmarks presentable and runnable, visitors would not be able to entirely enjoy and learn the rich history that the historic place has to offer. During my role as an intern at Atalaya Castle, the winter home of Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington, at Huntington Beach State Park, I was able to abundantly understand how important it is to pay close attention to understanding the importance of explanation and conservation. While interning at Atalaya, I was in charge of completing several tasks…

still decades in the future, appears to have existed in the colony. The colonists were given strict plans as to how their homes should be constructed. Williams’ community center buildings were all similar to each other as well, sharing common details. Most of the buildings had a prominent chimney, gable roof, multiple dormers with shallow eaves, multi-pane windows and chevron wood siding. The entrances to the buildings included a covered or protected porch, the exterior had minimal…

For over the past decade, I have been learning and living through the works of Landmark Education (now Landmark Worldwide). The programs have evolved from seminars designed by Werner Erhard. During that same approximate time, Erhard was working with Jensen, Zaffron, and Granger the creating an ontological, phenomenological leadership course to be taught throughout the world. Not only were they successful in doing so, they found through teaching the course, people left the course actually being…

Prisons in the south during the civil war were very brutal towards the inmates, but one of the worst prisons to get sent to was Andersonville. The history being this terrifying building, the people that were killed or barely survived, and the people controlling the prison will make it known that Andersonville was the worst prison you could go to at this time during the civil war. Andersonville prison was founded in early 1864 in Andersonville, Georgia. The prison was surrounded by large pine…

From 1864 to 1865 Andersonville, GA was the site of a huge military prison for the confederacy. It was officially called Camp Sumter and was highly known for its horrible conditions and high death rate. In History.com’s article “Andersonville” it says, “In all, approximately 13,000 Union prisoners perished at Andersonville, and following the war its commander, Captain Henry Wirz (1823-65), was tried, convicted and executed for war crimes.” This camp was highly feared and the conditions in which…

It will be beneficial to identify which type will best accommodate the project. “Preservation is preserving a place as it is in the present” (ctb.ku.edu) Rehabilitation gives a history property a new use but retains or repairs its features. This would be a suitable approach for an existing building and re-purposing it for a health care facility. Restoration puts a building back to its original state, which eliminates any previous repairs and alterations. Reconstruction may include an accurate…

Stones River National Battlefield While preparing for my visit to Stones River National Battlefield, I did some digging on the Internet and found out that the Battle of Stones River started on December 31, 1862. My preparation mainly involved reading about the site, especially its history and why it had been designated as a national historical site. The site was one among the many bloody civil war conflicts. The battle produced significant political and military benefits for the Union, but more…

She also was a phenomenal speaker, but this trait was not something she always had. Carla Barton was always a shy girl, but after her brother’s incident she learned to outgrow that stage. Clara was a young gal when her brother developed an illness and this is what lead to her great journey. She learned to care for him on her own where she gained experience as a nurse (National Women's History Museum, n.d). At the age of 18, she began teaching, but this ended when she moved to a different state…
