Know of at-risk historic place?

Is there an at-risk historic property in your area? We want to know about it! Missouri Preservation is accepting nominationsfor the 2018 Missouri’s Places in Peril list until Sept. 14.

What is Places in Peril? The listing and program was created to call attention to endangered statewide historic resources threatened by deterioration, lack of maintenance, insufficient funds, imminent demolition and/or inappropriate development. Each year we release an updated list of properties to our followers and media around the state. By publicizing these places we hope to build support towards each property’s eventual preservation.

Once a historic resource is gone, it’s gone forever. Help us help you preserve your local history by nominating an endangered place.
