"The National Register of Historic Places: Eligibility, Advantages, and
Common Misconceptions"
Lincoln may never have slept there and your home, building, or site may
not be the oldest in your community, but it may possess enough
distinctive significance to deem it worthy of preservation, and
inclusion on the State and National Register of Historic Places.
On Saturday, May 9th at 10am, the Delavan Historical Society will
present Daina Penkiunas, National Register Coordinator for the Wisconsin
Historical Society to give a presentation on "The National Register of
Historic Places: Eligibility, Advantages, and Common Misconceptions".
Ms. Penkiunas will explain about the process involved in getting a
structure accepted to the State and National Registers and address the
common misconceptions, eligibility, and possible tax advantages.
Penkinunas reads all applications before they are formally submitted,
making comments and suggestions. Under her guidance, most applications
listed on Wisconsin's State Register usually follow with a listing on
the National Register.
The State Register designation provides access to certain benefits,
including qualification for grants and for rehabilitation income tax
credits; and it does not restrict private property owners in the use of
their property.
The program will take place on Saturday, May 02, 2009,at 10:00am at the
Delavan Community Centre, 826 E. Geneva St., Delavan. Coffee and rolls
will be served. Admission is free of charge in honor of Historic
Preservation Month.
