Our continuing "Spotlight Series": Kenton
Cooperative Extension Service provides a range of educational programming and activities to support the well-being of Kentuckians. One good example is in Kenton County where the FCS agent combined two lessons, “Discovering Treasures from the Past” and “Revitalizing Your Community through Historic Preservation,” and provided them to Extension Homemakers and community education participants who found value in the past as well as learning steps to protect or care for the homes that remain. The program offered insight into the value of historical homes within the individual communities; architectural styles common in the area; and evaluating doorways and roof styles. Extension Homemakers were also educated about the economic impact of historic preservation and the importance of using “best practices” to insure that national standards are met when trying to rehabilitate old structures.
