Our Vanishing Past explores the historic places that tell the story of America. It showcases the craftsmanship that went into constructing buildings in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. It also highlights the recent past including the 1950s era Doo Wop motels in Wildwood. The unifying thread that connects all of these historic buildings is that they either face a struggle to survive or they have been rescued from abandonment.
