One of Historic Landmarks' largest projects was the $30-million+ restoration of the West Baden Springs Hotel's exterior and public spaces. The Foundation helped lead the effort to bring riverboat gaming to Orange County, Indiana as a way to revitalize the French Lick Resort Casino and the West Baden Springs Hotel.
