Historic Resources

Historic resources are buildings, sites, structures, objects, or districts that have cultural, architectural, or historical significance. They reflect important aspects of a community’s past, such as events, traditions, or notable craftsmanship. Preserving these resources helps maintain a tangible connection to history, providing insight into how people lived and worked. Recognizing historic resources can also support education, tourism, and community identity. They are often protected by laws or regulations to ensure their preservation for future generations, emphasizing their value beyond their physical presence as symbols of a community’s heritage.
