Welcome to Montana SHPO

The Montana State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) works together with all Montanans to promote the preservation of our state's historic and cultural places. From 10,000-year-old archaeological sites to 100-year-old homestead farms, a lot of history has unfolded beneath the big Montana sky. We encourage people across the state to identify, document, recognize, and protect the heritage sites of Montana, preserving our rich cultural landscape for generations to come. 

QUICK LINKS

Explore the National Register page to find:

  • Nominations Under Review
  • Recent Listings and Awards
  • Listed Property Finding Aids
  • Property Research Resources
  • How to nominate a property for listing

Historic private residential or commercial building preservation funding opportunities are limited, and SHPO does not administer any grant programs for these types of properties. We recommend exploring the Preservation Funding tab at the bottom of this page.

Commercial properties eligible for or listed in the National Register may qualify for the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Credit.

Communities certified through the Certified Local Government (CLG) program, may have access to funds for local preservation projects. For more information about the Certified Local Government program or to pursue certification for your community, please visit the National Park Service CLG homepage.

Explore the Historic Architecture page for resources or contact the Montana SHPO Historic Architecture Specialist to learn more about: 

  • Standards for Historic Building Rehabilitation
  • Economics of adapting a historic building for reuse
  • Treatment of historic building materials 
  • Use of historically appropriate modern materials
  • Rehabilitation of historic interior finishes
  • Preservation tax incentives and covenants

 

If you are a federal or state agency working with historic properties or a private property owner, company, or local government agency receiving a grant you may be asked to get a letter from the Montana SHPO concerning your project’s effect on cultural resources. Visit the Review and Compliance page to learn how to request a letter. 

Visit the Review and Compliance page to learn how to consult with SHPO and prepare documents.

Or, go directly to Submit and Access Data.

Finding a professional experienced in historic preservation and who meets requirements for federal programs can be challenging. SHPO maintains the following lists to help you search for quality and qualified architects, engineers, and trades people in Montana and the surrounding area.

We recommend you make inquiries regarding professional qualifications and check references as appropriate.

NOTE: Individuals and firms included on the following lists enrolled via a public form provided by the Montana State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Inclusion on this list does not represent a certification, endorsement, recommendation, or assumption of responsibility for the work of any consultant. There is no guarantee implicit or implied that any work product produced by those on this list will meet federal or state requirements. 

 

If you think you have found human remains, a burial site, or funerary objects you are required by law to contact the local coroner and/or the State Archaeologist (444-7719). Learn more about unmarked human remains and buried / marked remains or cemeteries

If you find an artifact or fossil . . .

DO leave the artifact in place. Remember, this artifact has likely been in this place for years…sometimes thousands of years. Under no circumstances does it need you to remove it from its location, even if you are taking it to the proper authorities. Taking human remains or artifact associated with a human burial is disrespectful to the people who left it behind or their descendants and may be illegal.

DO contact the landowner to report your findings. Except for human remains and burial objects, artifacts belong to the landowner. Not all artifacts need to be reported, but if you find something on land you do not own that you want to make sure archaeologist know about, contact the landowner before doing anything else.

DO report human remains, unmarked burial sites, and burial objects. Artifacts left with a human burial or human remains cannot be “owned,” are not property abandoned, and therefore are not owned by the land owner. 

DO document your finding location and take photos when reporting the discovery.

DO NOT share the location of your discovery on social media.

Daphne Bugbee-Jones: Montana Modernist (YouTube)

This documentary on modernist architect, Daphne Bugbee Jones was created by Pete Brown of the Montana State Historic Preservation Office. It features University of Montana art history professor, Rafael Chacon, Ph.D., and the photography of Terry W. Greene. The video includes Bugbee Jones’s biography, her civic achievements, and describes her influences and design intent for her eight houses built in Missoula, Montana, between 1960 and 1981. It also describes the paradigm shift in design that occurred in the 20th century and flourished after World War II. High-quality photos that exhibit the homes’ interiors and exteriors are the first professional photographs of her work. >> Watch Now
