History matters for so many reasons.
For New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author Steve Berry and his wife Elizabeth Berry, Executive Director of International Thriller Writers, history is important because it establishes roots and creates community pride. It teaches, inspires, makes our communities more attractive and encourages travel and tourism. Saving our historical assets and preserving our past teaches us about ourselves.
