The New London Public Museum invites Daina Penkiunas, Deputy State Historic
Preservation officer, to talk about the National Register and historic pre
servation tax credits. If you are a home or building owner, or just an inte
rested community member, join us at the museum (406 S. Pearl St. New London
, WI) on Wednesday, May 6 at 6pm. The presentation is free, light refreshme
nts will be provided. Please contact the museum today to let us know if you
are coming 982-8520.
The National Register recognizes buildings that are among the best examples
of their kind in a community, retaining historic materials and their origi
nal character and having a unique story to tell. Learn how the National Reg
ister evaluates properties and we'll dispel some myths associated with the
program. In addition to the honorific designation, listing also brings some
great benefits to historic property owners, including tax credits for appr
oved rehabilitation projects. This presentation will briefly cover the reha
bilitation income tax credit programs available in Wisconsin, and what type
s of projects can qualify for the credits.

sconsin Historical Society. Prior to assuming her position as Wisconsin's N
ational Register Coordinator 15 years ago, Daina worked as a private preser
vation consultant, a college lecturer, and in the Hawaii State Historic Pre
servation Office. Daina holds a bachelor's degree in architectural history
