Senators Rosenzweig and Grobschmidt, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor and memory of George L. N. Meyer, Jr. for his interest and dedication to historic preservation that extended well beyond his beloved Third Ward and Milwaukee. Rather than try to save history one building at a time, Meyer took a bigger view. He successfully pursued legislative changes that made it easier to save historic structures in Wisconsin. He helped found the Wisconsin Trust for Historic Preservation. He also helped Wisconsin get one of the first federal grants for historical tourism efforts, and was involved in the Mainstreet program, which promotes retail and commercial business in neighborhoods throughout Milwaukee. In the last several years he was active in the movement to preserve old barns here in Wisconsin and elsewhere.
