National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers

The National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO) is an organization that brings together state officials responsible for preserving and protecting historic sites and cultural heritage across the U.S. These officers develop and manage programs to identify, evaluate, and conserve historically significant properties. NCSHPO provides a platform for collaboration, sharing best practices, and influencing policies related to historic preservation. Its goal is to support states in maintaining their cultural landmarks, ensuring they are preserved for future generations while balancing development and community needs.
