Abstract (en)

Discusses the concept of national heritage corridors preserving the historical, industrial and natural heritage for recreation and cultural tourism in the United States, and the interdisciplinary approach to these, which involves museum personnel, preservationists, and economic planners. Focuses on the three existing corridors legislated into existence in the 1980s (the Illinois and Michigan Canal, the Blackstone River Valley and the Delaware and Lehigh Navigation Canal), noting the role of the National Park Service and the implications for museums.
