The Future of Preservation in MI
Regional & Virtual Public Workshops
What do you think about historic preservation opportunities in Michigan? What threats do historic places face, and where can historic preservation champions focus their attention and resources in the years ahead? A series of regional public workshops will take place across Michigan during summer 2025 to allow citizens an opportunity to offer their ideas and input. We invite you to join us in person in Marquette or Petoskey or at an upcoming virtual workshop to make your voice heard!

The creation of a long-term statewide historic preservation plan is a federal requirement for each state's historic preservation office. The next statewide plan will outline broad preservation priorities and goals to be used by all preservation-related entities for this eight year time period. The staff of the SHPO is constantly assessing the opportunities and threats facing historic preservation in Michigan and looking for ways to address them.
Explore Michigan's current 2020-2025 Statewide Historic Preservation Plan! The plan outlines broad preservation priorities and goals for this five year time period. The plan text was approved by the National Park Service in August, 2020. This plan is informed by public input and stakeholder feedback obtained throughout 2019 at regional workshops across the state.
