Advisory Council on Historic Preservation

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) is a U.S. government agency that focuses on protecting and preserving historic sites and culturally significant places. It advises federal agencies, reviews projects that may affect historic properties, and promotes awareness of heritage conservation. The ACHP helps ensure that federal actions are mindful of their impact on history and culture, fostering collaboration between government, communities, and private sectors. By doing so, it aims to preserve America's historic places for future generations while balancing development and preservation needs.
