Historic Preservation Commission

The Historic Preservation Commission is a body of citizens appointed to be responsible for the designation, preservation, protection, renovation and use of historic properties and/or historic districts within the City as part of Dickinson’s designation as a Certified Local Government (CLG).

The CLG program is a partnership between local, state and national governments focused on promoting historic preservation.  It is administered by the National Park Service and the North Dakota State Historic Preservation Office.  The Dickinson Historic Preservation Commission is the local partner designated to implement CLG business on behalf of the City of Dickinson.

The Director of the Dickinson Museum Center serves as Historic Preservationist and staff liaison to the City’s Historic Preservation Commission.  The Commission meets the second Tuesday of each month at 4:00 p.m. MT. Meetings are held in the Conference Room at the Dickinson Museum Center. All Commission meetings are open to the public.
