The Sheridan County Historic Preservation Commission is developing a county-wide preservation plan. This document will serve as a guide for preservation of the rich history of places and people that make Sheridan County special.
The Sheridan County Preservation Plan will establish a vision, identify priorities, and set goals for the preservation of historic and cultural resources in Sheridan County. It will strengthen future grant applications, and will serve as a roadmap for all historic preservation efforts in the county.
The plan will also establish guidelines for the Sheridan County Historic Preservation Commission to:
- Identify, evaluate, register, and treat sites, buildings, places, and intangible cultural heritage within the community.
- Communicate and work with Sheridan County community members and community stakeholders concerning historic preservation projects.
