Regional Preservation Offices
DHR In Your Neighborhood: The Department of Historic Resources (DHR) maintains regional offices in Newport News, Roanoke, and Stephens City. The Capital Region Preservation Office is co-located with the central office in Richmond.
Each regional office is staffed with technically skilled professionals who support local and regional historic resource related activities that contribute to the economic and cultural vitality of communities. Staff members work closely with property owners, private heritage organizations, and local governments to encourage an ethic of good stewardship and to promote wise use of historic resources for sustainable economic development, heritage tourism, education, community revitalization, and smart growth.
Regional offices are the first point of contact in Virginia for anyone seeking to nominate properties to the state and national registers, carry out local architectural or archaeological surveys, put historic resources to work in local comprehensive plans, promote the benefits of historic preservation, teach with historic places, study threatened archaeological sites, or develop and maintain sound local preservation programs. Each office offers technical information and guidance on the full range of DHR’s statewide programs; on the location and significance of historic, architectural, and archaeological resources in its region; and on incentives for good stewardship of historic buildings and sites. For further information about the department's regional programs and services, contact the regional office nearest you.
