STATEWIDE PRESERVATION PLAN
& SHPO Annual Report of Activities

Historic preservation is about preserving our historic legacy by keeping our important heritage places. Historic preservation benefits Montanans – culturally, educationally, and economically. State Preservation Plans, prepared every five years for Montana by the State Historic Preservation Office, serve as a guide for state and local preservation efforts by everyone. With its background, goals, objectives and recommended activities, the Plan is an important tool in setting priorities for the investment of human and financial resources in the preservation of our significant historic, archaeological and traditional cultural places in Montana.
