Founded in 1968, Missouri’s state historic preservation office was one of the nation’s first. It did not replace the citizens’ role in preserving properties, but helped facilitate the process of identifying properties significant to the citizens, state and nation, and planning for their preservation. In Spring 1970, the private citizens who made up the state’s review board approved Missouri’s first statewide preservation plan. Again, it was one of the first such plans to be approved by the National Park Service. In 2011, following a series of meetings across the state, input from citizens appointed to the Missouri Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and approval by the National Park Service, the newest version of Missouri’s Preservation Horizons was drafted.
