Saint Edward Seminary was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places by Citizens last Fall and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in April.

Citizens' current projects include two plans for the building: a curated library of state artifacts, low impact on the park, and a Burke Museum sponsored learning and service lab for children of all ages, also low impact on the park. Citizens at this moment in time are highly concerned about the Bastyr expansion plan, see C4SEP.org for public documents. Bastyr's expansion plan, how it affects the park, needs your input.

Citizens for Saint Edward State Park with the technical help of Alumni, started this page in 2005 to open discussion and generate ideas on how to keep the Park a Park.

Citizens in 2006 gathered 1,000 petitions on-line, at community fairs, and at retail outlets to keep commercial entities out of the park. Feel free to yet add your signature and comments to our petition site, http://www.petitiononline.com/9eq3c7dd/.
