Hi,

Fort Langley, near Vancouver, BC, is mostly reconstructed on the footprints of original buildings/walls. A few of the constructions are in close proximity to the footprints, where the original site was not feasible due to erosion or excavation.
Call or write back if you want more details.

Subject: Reconstructions in Proximity to Original Sites

I am looking for examples of historic site reconstructions that are
positioned in proximity to the structure's original (excavated) sites. I am
aware of the reconstructed Ft. Seminoe (in Wyoming) which was erected a
short distance from the excavated foundations of the original fort. Does
anyone know of other similar examples of this method of preservation and
interpretation?

Thanks for the help.
