Toward Fisher’s Fence: Getting On Tract to Preserve One of Our Most
Intact, Early Homesteads by

Independence preservationists are recording historic
properties worth saving for future Jackson Countians. More than just saving structures, historic
preservation also involves protecting scenic vistas and cultural
landscapes. Follow Patrick Steele’s
case study of the Adam Fisher homestead in Toward Fisher’s Fence: Getting
On Tract to Preserve One of Our Most Intact Early Homesteads and see how you
might get involved, or at minimum, stay abreast of the important work of
Preservation Renaissance of Independence, Inc. and the Independence Heritage
Commission.
Patrick Steele is recently retired Historic Preservation
Officer for the City of Independence. He also Chairs the Independence
Heritage Commission. Mr. Steele is also Communications Chair for the
not-for-profit organization Preservation Renaissance of Independence, Inc.
