Historical Commission

A Historical Commission is a group that focuses on preserving, protecting, and promoting a community's historical and cultural heritage. These commissions often work at local, state, or national levels, advising on issues like land use, historic sites, and restoration projects. They may conduct research, organize educational programs, and help inform public policy related to historical preservation. By ensuring that significant historical sites and traditions are maintained, they play a vital role in honoring a community's past and enhancing its identity for future generations.
