ITEM EXPLANATION :
Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park was recently selected as one of only 12 historic sites to
participate in an exciting new partnership that the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP)
and Save America’s Treasures has forged with Home and Garden Television (HGTV). The focus
of this partnership is a major public awareness campaign entitled “Restore America: A Salute to
Preservation.” HGTV is providing both national and international media exposure for Carrillo
Ranch through several one-minute vignettes, which are scheduled to air beginning in October
2004, as well as providing a preservation grant to assist with our restoration efforts.
As an official project of Save America’s Treasures, in July 2004, the City of Carlsbad, Leo Carrillo
Ranch Historic Park, was awarded a $25,000 preservation grant as part of its participation in
Restore America: A Salute to Preservation partnership. The grant award will be applied towards
the future restoration of the stone barbecue at the ranch (Exhibit 2).
The funds were deposited into Carrillo Ranch Account # 001-4544-4631
A thank you letter was sent to Mr. Button Jabelin and Annette Lindstrom of HGTV.
