Monona’s Historic Sites Get National Recognition

In 1966, the National Historic Preservation Act gave the National Park Service the power to create the National Register of Historic Places — the nation’s official honor roll for sites worth saving, from ancient mounds to mid-century homes. Unlike local landmarks, National Register status offers federal tax credits for restoration, making preservation financially smart. Most sites are privately owned, so admire from afar — don’t trespass. Recently, Monona earned a grant to nominate four new sites, including effigy mounds, a bungalow, and a modern house — showcasing the city’s deep commitment to protecting its diverse heritage, from ancient earthworks to architectural treasures.
