Montana’s State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the State Historic Preservation Review Board will hold their tri-annual public meeting on September 18 at the Big Timber Carnegie Library.
During the meeting, the board will review and forward nominations for six historic properties across Montana to the Keeper of the National Register at the U.S. Department of the Interior.
The decision to host the meeting in Big Timber highlights the community’s strong push to establish a downtown National Register Historic District. Local leaders and residents have voiced broad support for preserving the city’s historic character and showcasing its architectural and cultural heritage.
The Review Board’s meetings are open to the public, offering Montanans a chance to learn more about efforts to protect historic places across the state.
