Appreciate Metrics
Preserve the historic resources and landscapes that define our cultural heritage to inspire the future through tangible connections to our shared past.
Metric 6 — Historic Inventory and Standards
Track the number of municipal comprehensive historic resource protection measures implemented.
Metric Results
There was no change for 2024. Since 2018, the total number of historic inventories and standards has shown little change. This trend can be partially attributed to many of the county's municipalities having already updated such ordinances in the 2000's and 2010s.
Metric 7 — Historic Tourism
Track the level of tourism within the county related to historic and cultural resources.
Metric Results
In 2024, total attendance at four key cultural-heritage tourism sites (Hibernia County Park and Mansion, Springton Manor Farm, Historic Yellow Springs, and Hopewell Furnace National Historic Park), remained above 450,000, a modest decrease from 2023. During COVID, attendance dropped to below 350,000 and, with the exception of 2024, has been gradually rising since then.
