Residents, property owners, and anyone interested in the
preservation of historic homes, churches, commercial buildings and
archaeological sites are invited to learn about programs available
through Virginia’s Department of Historic Resources (DHR) to help
preserve the rich, tangible history of Southside Virginia. DHR
offers technical assistance and incentives to boost the important
work it takes to recognize, restore, and preserve historic
buildings and sites.
Join DHR staff as they briefly introduce you to DHR programs and
incentives to preserve history and the legacies of Southside
Virginia during a half-day event, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., October 24, at
the Colonial Center for the Performing Arts, Town of South Hill in
Mecklenburg County.
The day will give you the opportunity to speak with DHR
architectural historians and archaeologists during
question-and-answer sessions. Programs discussed will include the
Virginia Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic
Places, historic rehabilitation tax credits, historical highway
markers, stewardship of archaeological sites, and much more.
