State Historic Preservation Board To Meet Oct. 27

BISMARCK, N.D. – The North Dakota State Historic Preservation Review Board will meet Friday, Oct. 27, at 10 a.m. in Classroom B at the North Dakota Heritage Center in Bismarck. The meeting is open to the public, and information to join remotely can be requested from history@nd.gov. The board reviews nominations to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) prior to their submission to the Keeper of the NRHP for official consideration. This meeting will include a short training session on the NRHP before the review of the nomination.

The Andrew Erickson Barn near Hettinger is a common barn used for both dairy and beef cattle. Built in 1952, the barn has a low concrete sidewall with a gothic-arched roof. As was common with most barns, the Erickson barn also housed family celebrations. The barn is an excellent example of its type and attests to trends in the development of agriculture in North Dakota.

The National Register of Historic Places is the nation’s list of properties considered worthy of preservation. The documentation process for listing demonstrates that the resource is significant in some aspect of the nation’s history. Contrary to some misconceptions about the National Register program, listing in it does not prevent owners from altering their property, restrict the use or sale of the property, or establish times requiring that the property must be open to the public. Entry into the National Register of Historic Places does give a property prestige, provides protection from federally assisted projects, and provides eligibility for certain preservation financial incentives.
