1998 Tour of Historic Sites and
Collections on the East and West Coasts

One stop on the 1998 Save America's Treasures Tour was San Francisco's Conservatory of Flowers, the oldest building in Golden Gate Park and the oldest greenhouse in California.

rom June through December 1998, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton led Save America's Treasures Millennium Committee members on a series of visits to diverse historic sites and collections on the East and West Coasts. Many of the sites visited have since been able to build on the Save America's Treasures events to increase public awareness and raise funds in support of restoration projects.
