National Historic Preservation
We encourage anyone with an old home to register it. There are a lot of myths about registering. For example; you must remodel or renovate to government specs. This is only true if you accept a grant, but not for just registering. Some of the benefits are that it keeps your house from being taken by the state and federal governments, if there is a road going through or for other reasons. To get all the facts, click on the link below.
