Is history well preserved in your area?

yes, somewhat...although it would seem that even though Hamilton is one of the oldest cities in canada, it doesnt have anything spectacular in regards to its history (except maybe a battle of the war of 1812 was fought in near by stoney creek - the battle of stoney creek)...but in regards to its history, there are a lot of museums around... do you have any civil war battle fields near you?

In Belchertown, MA where I live we have a cool, local museum (The Stone House Museum)that perserves our history really well. We have living history days here which are fun; people get dressed up and artists are selling stuff. I'm going it's Saturday and Sunday of this coming week.

I am in the D.C. area too and there is so much historic sites that are preserved. It iss wonderful. Anyone who loves history mush come to D.C. at least once.

I am living in Cairo (Egypt), and there are lots of history here. Pharaonic monuments, ancient churches, mosques, and old buildings, there is a great variety of historical places here. Most of these places are well preserved, but I think that the authorities can do much better. Urbanization grew very fast in the last 50 years here in Cairo, and that made things worse. Now, you can see awful buildings not very far from the Pyramids! Same to most historical places too. Two years ago, I went to the Egyptian museum. The antiquities (objects) were too many compared to the capacity of the museums. Many were not protected from visitors, and others were left in basements inside boxes. Now, they are building a new museum at the edge of the city. Hope the situation will be better. The most annoying thing is the residential buildings. While old residential buildings (more than 50 years old) were like works of art, that looked somewhat unique, and gave the city a very nice look, new buildings are just like blocks with awful designs. Each one has its own size and height that is destroying the city's personality.

I am lucky enough to live in Wiltshire England and 15 miles down the road from me is Avebury, a massive stone cirlce, so big that is encompasses the village itself. The site, including much of the surviving stones can be dated to 6000BC. Thats pretty old.

We do have many castles and chateaus and very old churches. Lots of museums we have with antiques that I sometimes go to look at in rainy weather. there is everything from all periods of time. Everything gets preserved where I live.

As you know by now that India has rich cultural heritage for over 3500 years and most of the monuments were disfigured by the tyranny of muslim invaders from central asia. Still many monuments are well preserved, well exposed to tourists and well documented by archeological survey of India.
