In this session, you’ll learn about the National Register of Historic Places, including its purpose, the benefits to and restrictions on listed properties, eligibility criteria, and the process for listing a property, from identification through listing, with a typical timeline. You will gain insight into the state’s current listing priorities and how those priorities are derived from the State Historic Preservation Plan. A survey of Maine’s listed properties, their areas of significance, and their geographic distribution will be used to illustrate what is well represented and what is underrepresented, and a focus, of the MHPC’s efforts. The Maine Historic Preservation Commission is a co-sponsor of this program.
Speaker: Michael W. Goebel-Bain, National Register and Survey Coordinator, Maine Historic Preservation Commission
