“Because Seabiscuit was one of the greatest racehorses who ever lived, his barn is a landmark in sports history. But it’s more than that. Seabiscuit was a beloved popular icon of the 1930s, a rags-to-riches hero who captivated and uplifted a nation stricken by the Great Depression. His barn is a treasure of our history, and it is so fitting that it now occupies a privileged spot on the National Register of Historic Places.”
~ Laura Hillenbrand, Author of the best-seller, “Seabiscuit – An American Legend”
