Local Historical Societies and Historic Preservation Commissions might
be interested in learning about the Save-A-Landmark program sponsored by
Hampton Hotels. More about how to nominate a building and the program in
general can be found here - http://www.hamptonlandmarks.com/
There is a contest currently underway to see which nominated landmark
can get the most votes, the winner of which will get their building
restored by Hampton Hotels. There are three Wisconsin buildings that are
currently nominated. They are the Washington Hotel (the home of the Two
Rivers Historical Society), the Vilas Zoo in Madison and Little Norway
in Dane County. You can cast your vote here -
