 Executive Summary - STATUS: AVAILABLE FOR VIEW
The Executive Summary will acquaint readers to Freedom’s Frontier, introduce its Foundation Documents and Statement of National Significance, and give a brief overview of the management plan. The Management Plan will guide the heritage area’s activities for the next decade.
The Power of Place - STATUS: AVAILABLE FOR VIEW
The Power of Place explores the qualities that make
this 31,000 square mile heritage area a unique place in
the world. Starting with a discussion of natural history
dating back 100 million years, this section describes how
mountain formations, glaciations, topography, shifts of
weather, and vegetation shaped human settlement. This
section explores how the natural geography of the area
shaped settlement, agriculture, movement, and sites
where conflict occurred. By looking at natural systems
and the relatively recent human geography of the last
several centuries, we can begin to ask how the land contributed
to Freedom’s Frontier’s diverse stories.
The Power of Story - STATUS: AVAILABLE FOR VIEW
The Power of Story explores why the stories in the heritage area are unique and nationally significant. Some of the most important events within Freedom’s
Frontier occurred because individuals took action to create a society that better fit their definition of freedom. Freedom’s Frontier honors those individuals by involving
residents and stakeholders in a grassroots effort to craft a plan that stewards those stories and the landscape on which those events occurred.
The Power of Action - STATUS: AVAILABLE FOR VIEW
The Power of Action offers clear toolkits to help citizens
and groups manage and improve Freedom’s Frontier
as a National Heritage Area. The toolkits offer tips, models,
links to more information, and questions for groups
to explore. The toolkits speak to Heritage Preservation,
Tourism & Marketing, and Storytelling.
The Power of Partnership - STATUS: AVAILABLE FOR VIEW
The Power of Partnership builds on the Toolkits to
provide in-depth information for site managers, partners,
and other FFNHA members. This chapter offers
five “operations plans” that focus on Heritage Preservation,
Recreation and Natural Resource Conservation,
Interpretation & Education, Tourism & Marketing, and
Economic Development.
The Power of Partnership also includes a business plan. Although the heritage area is a grassroots effort, an administrative role and organizational structure must be developed for Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area to meet its mission. The Business Plan provides a preliminary structure and appropriate alternatives for operating the entity as a 501(c)(3). Additionally, it provides some opportunties and methods for increasing citizen engagement in FFNHA.
The Power of People - STATUS: AVAILABLE FOR VIEW
The Power of People includes acknowledgments for the hundreds of people and organizations who contributed to the development of the document, as well as letters of commitment from dozens of organizations in the heritage area.
