A Future for Ohio's Past: The Ohio Historic Preservation Plan

The plan describes the critical issues facing the preservation of Ohio's historic properties and the steps the Office has taken to maintain its commitment to protect and preserve the states historic resources. Most importantly, it describes actions that communities, organizations and individuals can take to address state and local preservation issues.

Our hope is that the plan will provide us all with broad guidance and direction in preserving our rich history and in coordinating our preservation efforts.
