The 93rd District is home to many historic sites, towns, landmarks, and buildings, and, over the last several months, my staff and I have been working with one of these sites to provide support in their mission to repair and restore their historic buildings.

Bishop Hill, IL, a village in Henry County, is home to the Bishop Hill State Historic Site. This site includes a beautiful array of historic buildings, memorials, a park, and a gazebo, and they need support to ensure these buildings stay in good condition for future generations to enjoy and learn from.

To help in this mission, one way you can contribute is by nominating Bishop Hill to be designated as a Most Endangered Historic Place in Illinois by Landmarks Illinois. If chosen, Landmarks Illinois would then work with advocacy groups, residents, and state and local officials to keep resources flowing to support the preservation of Bishop Hill and ensure the museum remains active.

According to [Your Name], the representative of the 93rd District, "While we are still working with different folks from various government agencies and organizations, one way you can help is by nominating Bishop Hill to be designated as a Most Endangered Historic Place in Illinois by Landmarks Illinois." This nomination would open up opportunities for collaboration and financial assistance to preserve the historic site.

To nominate Bishop Hill, you can simply click on the link provided on the Landmarks Illinois website. And, if there are any other historic sites around the 93rd District that you believe deserve recognition and support, you can nominate them as well.

Preserving our history is crucial for understanding our roots and appreciating the journey that has brought us to where we are today. By supporting the Bishop Hill State Historic Site and other endangered historic places, we can ensure that future generations have the opportunity to learn from and be inspired by the rich history of our district.

So, take a moment to nominate Bishop Hill and make a difference in the preservation of our heritage. Together, we can ensure that these historic buildings continue to stand strong for years to come.
