The City of Lincoln is now a Certified Local Government through the National Park Service. Local, State, and Federal governments work together in the National Park Service Federal Preservation Program to help communities save the irreplaceable historic character of places. Through the certification process, communities make a local commitment to historic preservation. This commitment is key to America’s ability to preserve, protect, and increase awareness of our unique cultural heritage found in the built environment across the country.
Community certification opens doors to funding, technical assistance, and other preservation successes.
