Worth Saving
The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worth of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources. Inclusion on the National Register allows the Elk County Preservation Society to receive help obtaining preservation benefits and incentives.

If that does not work for you, please comment on here and we will make arrangements to make sure you can get them.
Just a quick update on the progress of the Bank Building.....in February of last year (2023), we were awarded a $90,000 Heritage Trust Fund Grant from the Kansas State Historical Society. In June of last year, Elk County Community Foundation had a matching fund fundraiser and Elk County Preservation Society was the recipient of approximately $40,000 from that, we combined the money from those 2 grants and went out for bids to secure the South wall and repoint stonework. Bids were let in February 2024 and work on that project will start soon. This is a huge project and we can only tackle what we have funds for.![]()
