To Recognize Damon And Margaret Reed For Their Work In Restoring The Morrow Farmstead In Morrow, Arkansas.

Impact

The Reeds have dedicated substantial time over the past eighteen months to restore the log cabin, contributing to the preservation of local history and culture. Their hard work has not only revitalized the site but has also resulted in the Morrow Farmstead being placed on the National Register of Historic Places, enhancing its recognition and ensuring its protection. This national designation reflects the farmstead's importance and could potentially lead to more community investment in heritage initiatives.

Summary

House Resolution 1005 (HR1005) aims to recognize the commendable efforts of Damon and Margaret Reed in restoring the Morrow Farmstead located in Morrow, Arkansas. The Morrow Farmstead is a significant site, originally built in 1828 by Reverend George Morrow and his wife, Elizabeth. The property includes a four-room log cabin, smokehouse, outhouse, watering trough, and a family cemetery, making it a valuable representation of Arkansas's historical architecture and familial ties to the land.

Contention

While the resolution itself is unlikely to provoke significant contention, it highlights the ongoing importance of historic preservation within Arkansas. Discussions around such recognitions can sometimes lead to broader conversations about funding for preservation projects, the balance between modernization and maintaining historical integrity, and community involvement in local heritage initiatives. Ultimately, HR1005 stands as a testament to the positive impact that individuals and families can have on preserving a state’s cultural heritage.
