About the Historic Preservation Office
The Historic Preservation Division assists communities, organizations, agencies and individuals with identifying and protecting archaeological sites, burial places and historic buildings in Wisconsin.
As the State Historic Preservation Office, we maintain inventories of those properties, administer grants, conduct and support archaeological research and provide technical assistance to local governments and owners of historic properties.
The Division also administers federal and state tax credit programs for the rehabilitation of historic properties, catalogues burial sites (including Native American mounds) and prehistoric sites and structures. We administer the Wisconsin Historical Markers and Certified Local Government Programs and nominate sites to the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
