Historic Preservation Grant & Loan Programs

The Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission has created numerous grant & loan programs to help with the restoration of Deadwood's National Historic Landmark and the resources listed on the National and South Dakota State Registers of Historic Places. Maintaining these designations is critical to the economic success of the city and to the quality of life of its residents. The objective of the grant program is to stimulate quality restoration, protection and interpretation of buildings, sites and properties that contribute to an understanding of the history of the City of Deadwood.

It is in Deadwood’s interest to promote the preservation and interpretation of historic sites, buildings, and properties throughout the state when those buildings, sites and properties are related to historic preservation in Deadwood. The expense of such preservation projects may discourage owners and managers from undertaking necessary projects or may result in a lower quality of craftsmanship. The purpose of these grant funds is to assist and encourage property owners and managers to restore and protect their properties and to interpret their relationship to Deadwood’s history.

The City of Deadwood and the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission reserve the right to revise grant policies or discontinue the program at any time without public notice. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that they are in accordance with these grant programs.
