Ellsworth Historic Preservation Commission

Five members serve on the Historic Preservation Commission.  Members who are first appointed shall be designated to serve terms as follows; One for one (1) year, two for two (2) years, and two for three (3) years from the date of their appointment. The Historic Preservation Commission seeks to preserve the architectural, historic, prehistoric and environmental heritage of the City and to develop and promote the cultural, educational and economic benefit of these resources.

The Historic Preservation is working to become a Certified Local Government (CLG), a program mandated through an amendment to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. CLGs are municipalities who have demonstrated commitment to local preservation and saving the past for future generations.
