Hide Profile

The Historic Preservation Division was established within the State Historical Society of Wisconsin (WIHV85-A216) in 1977. In 2005 the Division merged with the Division of Public History (WIHV97-A89) to form the Division of Historic Preservation-Public History. The division administers a comprehensive program of historic preservation in the state including - in partnership with the National Park Service - the National Register of Historic Places in Wisconsin.

The Division surveys the state to identify and locate places of architectural, historic, and archaeological significance, and nominates them to the National Register; administers federal grants from the Historic Preservation Fund for survey, planning, and rehabilitation and restoration of historic properties; reviews federally funded and licensed projects for their impacts on historic and prehistoric properties; certifies projects for federal income tax credits to rehabilitate historic income-producing buildings; certifies local governments to participate directly in state and federal historic preservation programs; and conducts a program to catalog and preserve historically and culturally significant burial sites. It also carries out a statewide educational and informational program on relevant aspects of Wisconsin history and prehistory, and on historic preservation programs.
