Chestnut Hill is a 2010 Dozen Distinctive Destination

A message from the National Trust for Historic Preservation:

Pennsylvania’s own Chestnut Hill has been named one of the 2010 America’s Dozen Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.  We’re proud to share with the world what you no doubt already know — that Chestnut Hill offers a unique combination of colonial and modern history, with historic homes ranging from Federal to Modernist, as well as a boutique shopping district, and recreational opportunities at nearby Wissahickon Valley Park.

Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania joins 11 other great destinations on our 2010 list.  And for the first time, the public will determine which of the 12 destinations will be the 2010 Fan Favorite.  Starting today you can vote for your favorite city or town on this year’s list.  And when you vote, you can enter to win a complimentary two-night stay at any Historic Hotel of America (no purchase necessary). 

You can vote as often as you’d like at www.preservationnation.org/ddd from today through February 28 (open to legal residents of the U.S., 18 years of age or older). 

We hope you’ll take this opportunity to support Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania (or any one of our other 11 honorees this year) with your vote.  We also hope that you’ll share the link with friends, colleagues and family who share your interest in experiencing America’s authentic heritage when you travel for business or pleasure.

Thanks for your support of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Best,

The Dozen Distinctive Destinations Team
