This long-range interpretive plan examines the park's purposes and significant resources in order to establish the park's primary interpretive themes and visitor experience goals. The plan further provides opportunities for visitors to make their own intellectual and emotional connections to the meanings and significance of the preserve's resources. The plan analyzes the park's current interpretive facilities and outlines any changes necessary to facilitate appropriate visitor experiences. The long-range interpretive plan lays the groundwork for subsequent media planning and design and personal services program development. The actions recommended in the plan are those that the park can reasonably be expected to accomplish in 5 -10 years.

The Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) serves as the primary treatment document for cultural landscapes and the primary tool for managing those landscapes. It provides treatment guidance within the context of the site's history and significance, extant features and historic character, and current planning objectives and management goals. This report, the second volume of the CLR, includes overall treatment strategies for the site as well as direct treatment actions that are needed to ensure the long-term protection, preservation, and continued use of the landscape. Although ongoing park and volunteer efforts have succeeded in protecting and preserving many of the essential elements of the historic landscape, they have been operating without a comprehensive plan for managing the landscape as a whole. Volume 2 provides a comprehensive plan under the umbrella of the broader goals established in the park's General Management Plan.

This Historic Furnishings Report recommends a period of refurnishing dating to approximately 1848-65. The author believes that this period most closely fulfills the interpretive goals as described in the draft General Management Plan. Excellent evidence for furnishings exists for this period, including original objects (many of which are marked with McMurran's name) and an 1865 roomby- room inventory that lists objects sold with the house.

This report details the results of the 22nd year of the western snowy plover (Charadriusalexandrinus nivosus) monitoring program within Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County, California (PRNS). The goal of the 2011 monitoring effort was to determine abundance, distribution, and breeding success of snowy plovers nesting on federal lands within PRNS. The report provides an overview of the 2011 snowy plover monitoring program on federal lands and summarizes the results of the data collected during the field season.

The following is a survey of the current memorial plaques, waysides and identification plaques found throughout Washington Square as of January 2006. The memorial plaques in the square include everything from plaques that honor individuals and their work, those that commemorate important events, to identifying tree genus and species. Current waysides contain history about the Square and Philadelphia, while the identification plaques consist of various informational markers. The accompanying map locates the forty-two plaques and waysides currently within Washington Square. This map is divided into quadrants and further divided into zones, with each plaque and wayside appropriately located on the map. Other information found in this survey includes dimensions of the metal plaque or stone wayside, material from which the marker is made, installation or dedication date (if known), and the inscription that can be found on the plaque or wayside. In addition, two photographs of the plaque or wayside are included, one being a close shot of the marker at the time this survey was conducted, and another photograph showing the single marker within the wider surroundings of Washington Square.

The author details the deployment of three acoustical monitoring systems in April 2009 in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument (ORPI). The purpose of this monitoring effort was to characterize existing sound levels and estimate natural ambient sound levels in these areas, as well as identify audible sound sources prior to the construction of several Department of Homeland Security Rapid Deployment Towers (RDT) that will be located on or adjacent to ORPI. Acoustical monitoring provides a scientific basis for assessing the current status of acoustic resources, identifying trends in resource conditions, quantifying impacts from other actions, assessing consistency with park management objectives and standards, and informing management decisions regarding desired future conditions.

The purpose of the study is to identify historic places that best represent the wartime mobilization that occurred in the United States and its territories and possessions between 1939 and 1945 to assist in identifying whether any of these places should be considered for potential inclusion in the National Park System.

The purpose of this special resource study is to evaluate the potential of adding Moton Field in Tuskegee, Alabama, to the National Park System to commemorate the role of the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II.

This annual report highlights the individual accomplishments of Vanishing Treasures staff within their respective parks, as well as projects that parks have been able to execute with funding provided by the Vanishing Treasures Program.

This report will focus on Aspet, the home of Augustus Saint- Gaudens, and on his studio, known as the Little Studio. The scope of this project as stated in its Project Agreement is limited to providing an update to four previously compiled historic structure reports for the main house (Aspet) and the Little Studio. The current project had two primary purposes. The first was to update the buildings' developmental and architectural history - i.e., to document changes to Aspet and the Little Studio from 1977 to the present, according to the Cultural Resource Management Guideline (NPS- 28),1 while organizing the data in a chronology format. This report includes a brief review of the architectural development of the structures prior to 1977, as provided in the previous reports. It will not restate physical descriptions as found in those reports. However, if a feature has been added, changed, or removed, such changes were documented. The second primary component of this report was the determination and evaluation of the structures' character- defining features (CDFs). Identifying the CDFs of each building will help guide the park's decisions when future projects that may impact the architectural appearance and integrity of Aspet and the Little Studio are planned and implemented.

This Draft General Management Plan / Environmental Impact Statement presents and analyzes four draft alternative future directions for the management and use of Minuteman Missile National Historic Site (the national historic site). Alternative 4, Cold War Symbols, is the National Park Service's preferred alternative. The potential environmental impacts of all alternatives have been identified and assessed.

This report is divided into six chapters. Chapter I is the "administrative data" section, which documents the significance of the house, National Park Service involvement, and proposed use and treatment. Chapter II is an "architectural history" that describes the evolution of the house and its site, from its original construction circa 1705 to the present time. Also described is an earlier Meriam house that is believed to have been located nearby on Lexington Road, which was also standing on April 19, 1775. Chapter III is an architectural description of the existing Meriam House, its outbuildings, and other buildings on the former Meriam farm. Chapter IV provides recommendations for the future treatment of the house. Chapter V contains the appendices, including a survey of existing maintenance conditions and recommendations for repairs. Chapter VI is a bibliography of sources.

This study develops themes to explain the monument's history and to show the center as one of several land uses over time. Organized chronologically, the themes within the study include early Idaho history, prewar settlement and development, racism and discrimination, camp life, and postwar settlement and land use. The role of the federal government is recurring and dominant within these themes. The government created the wartime relocation centers deep in the American interior on federal land. However, Minidoka reaches beyond a federal land use study. Studying the site within a broader agricultural, military, and ethnic history enriches and clarifies the story.

This comprehensive Management and use Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) presents a proposal and four alternatives for the management, use, and development of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail.
