December 9, 2020 - Missouri Preservation is saddened to share the news of the sudden passing of our dear friend and board member, James Baughn. James served on the board of Missouri Preservation since 2016 and was the mastermind behind the creation of our interactive Places in Peril map. Outside of Missouri Preservation, his contributions to the world of preservation and beyond were enormous, including the creation of WWW.BRIDGEHUNTER.COM. He will be deeply missed.
