This page covers recent or forthcoming activities of the two boards of the Department of Historic Resources, the Board of Historic Resources and the State Review Board. The two boards meet quarterly to consider new site nominations for listing in the Virginia Landmarks Register, new historical highway markers, and new historic preservation easements.
Prior to each quarterly meeting, DHR posts information about new historic site nominations or those under early consideration for pursuing formal nomination (see below, Preliminary Evaluation Forms (PIFs)).
The most recent quarterly meeting of the Board of Historic Resources and State Review Board was held on December 15 at the Virginia Historical Society, Haley Lecture Hall, 428 N. Boulevard, Richmond. (DHR leases its headquarters offices from VHS; the two are separate organizations but share the same building). At December's meeting the two boards approved the new nominations below for listing in the Virginia Landmarks Register and for forwarding to the National Park Service for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The boards' next quarterly meeting will be held in March 2012.
