Learn More

The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) evaluates, protects and promotes Michigan’s historic built environment and archaeological sites. We lead this effort by helping property owners, developers, and local and state agencies identify and seize opportunities to celebrate and rehabilitate historic places that define local communities and make our state uniquely Michigan.

SHPO staff continue to work in a hybrid environment and are most accessible by direct email. Research requests with our office must now be submitted electronically. Section 106 applications are accepted electronically. General inquiries can be sent to preservation@michigan.gov. We invite you to explore our Programs and Services below to learn more about historic preservation in Michigan.
