State Preservation Plan

A HERITAGE FOR THE FUTURE:
A Plan for Preserving Maine’s
Historic and Archaeological Resources

Maine’s historic preservation plan is intended to serve as a document by which information about the state's cultural resources can be presented, and as an operational tool in which the mission and activities of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission are articulated. The plan seeks to assess past preservation efforts in Maine and establish short and long term preservation goals and priorities. These goals and priorities are listed in point form at the end of the discussion of each program area. They are intentionally broad to provide guidance on a variety of cultural and historic resource issues not only for the Commission, but also for other organizations and individuals carrying out historic preservation work in the state.
