Ranch recommended for nomination

The North Dakota Historic Preservation Review Board recently recommended the Theodore Roosevelt Elkhorn Ranch nomination to the National Register of Historic Places be forwarded to the Keeper of the National Register for official listing. The State Historic Preservation Office is reopening the comment period for this nomination through Dec. 15. Any previous comments already submitted will be retained and additional comments added to the nomination packet.

Anyone may comment but comments from owners must be notarized and include details of the land/rights owned. Comments should be submitted to the State Historic Preservation Office at the North Dakota Heritage Center, 612 East Boulevard Ave., Bismarck, ND 58505-0830.

The National Register of Historic Places is the nation’s list of properties considered worthy of preservation. The documentation process for listing demonstrates that resource is significant in some aspect of the nation’s history. The North Dakota State Historic Preservation Office serves as coordinator and provides technical advice regarding nominations to anyone who asks, maintains a review board with professionals in the fields of history, archaeology and architecture, and helps ensure the process for nominating properties is followed. The actual decision regarding listing is made by the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places.
