IN FOCUS WITH MARTIN SHEEN to Highlight Community Historical Preservation Groups

The producers of In Focus with Martin Sheen have announced an upcoming effort to highlight community groups around the country that are working to preserve America's historic sites.

In Focus with Martin Sheen is an independently produced television program airing on public television stations around the country. The show reports on several issues that are important to Americans including the work of community groups around the nation. In Focus Martin Sheen is hosted by the legendary Martin Sheen. Sheen has enjoyed a spectacular career spanning a half century in American entertainment.

Around the country, community groups are working to preserve and restore historic homes, buildings and sites with the help of the government and scholars. By restoring homes to a period-accurate condition, students and history buffs are able to see an accurate representation of a past era. Scholars are using historical accounts of battlefields to alter vegetation and topography to return these important sites to their historically accurate appearance.

Producers hope to have the reports ready to air later this year. In Focus with Martin Sheen can be reached through the show's official website at infocusptv.com or on Facebook at facebook.com/InFocusMartinSheen for more information.
