Vermont Division For Historic Preservation
Description
The Division for Historic Preservation is the public agency designated to be the advocate for historic and prehistoric properties in Vermont. The state has a rich heritage of historic resources, ranging from 10,000-year-old Native American sites to rambling 19th century farm complexes, to railroad-spawned villages of the 1870s, to gleaming streamlined diners built to serve auto-borne patrons of the 1930s. Each of these buildings, structures, and sites is important for what it can tell us about our history.
Prehistoric archaeological sites supply information on the lives of the original inhabitants of Vermont, who have no written records to speak for them. Standing buildings and structures may be important because of their significant architectural design and fine materials and craftsmanship or because they illustrate an important aspect of history. Often, however, they also tell the stories of everyday life that were never written down.
Historic structures, through their locations, architectural features, and historical associations, testify to patterns of Vermont life in the late 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries and serve as the visible reminders of the occupations, activities, philosophies, and priorities of Vermonters who came before us. It is the role of the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation to protect and preserve these links to our collective past.
