Just a reminder that we will be hosting a historic preservation seminar on Saturday, February 28 beginning at 1:00 PM in the Round Room at the Keokuk Public Library.

The sessions begin at 1:00 with a recap of the historic preservation commission's recent survey of the city. We will also cover other preservation efforts in the city and discuss what efforts might be needed in the future.

The 2:30 session will focus on the National Register of Historic Places, how to evaluate a property for the register, and the benefits of listing a property.

At 3:30, we will discuss tax credits for historic properties, grants, and financial incentives.

We hope to see a great turn out for these important sessions!

Over the coming weeks, commission members will be undertaking the survey portion of our Planning for Preservation work. If you see a person checking out your house or taking a quick photo, please know we aren't scoping it out for nefarious purposes. We're just trying to get the information for the survey!

Feel free to ask questions of anyone checking out your property though. For the most part, we are looking at roof style, wall construction, foundation style, and building function (residence, industry, business, etc.) We are doing our best to be brief, so if someone is spending a lot of time checking out your place, feel free to investigate further!
