I agree with Jordan. The whole country was a battlefield, and more than once. Progress is progress. There is a museum there now, and hopefully it will be there for a long time.
As to the damage on their road, both from construction now and the increased traffic from the condos in the future, that is a civil matter. Unfortunate for the museum...perhaps they can relinquish the road to the city and the city would have to maintain it. Unfortunate that the museum had to spend $400,000 to try and prevent the use of the road.
About 12 years ago, a neighbor was going to subdivide and sell the 20 acres which bordered the back of my triangular shaped property. I live rural so as to not have neighbors that close to me. So I bought the property from her to leave alone. It was either pay up or live with the progress. The property will one day be a nest egg for us or our heirs when we move on.
