Every town has its properties that deserve preservation. In Vail , one such property is the old Vail Post Office, which was first constructed more than a century ago, in 1908. After years of fundraising, the Vail Preservation Society has gathered enough money through donations and grants to start rehabilitation. The goal throughout rehabilitation is to keep as much of the original building as possible. “All of the adobes are just made up of dirt here from the site.
Lamb, founder of the Vail Preservation Society, said 'historic preservation is certainly about restoring old buildings, but it's also about relationships, the future, all while involving youth in our projects.'“You can drive down the street and you can’t get home without someone waving at you that you don’t know. That doesn’t happen in a lot of places in this country anymore,' said Bill Lloyd, a volunteer.
