Memo: On August 31, 2007 we were approved and changed from a "locally significant" Historical Site to "nationally significant" Historic Site listing on the National Register of Historic Places. This is the completion of the first step to Landmark status.

The National Park Service in Omaha has prepared a grant allowing our Historic Preservation Office for the State of Iowa to go forward with the nomination as a National Historic Landmark. Sometime within the next two years two committees in Washington DC will review and then forward to the Secretary of the Interior our papers for the final decision. There are 24 places in Iowa that are National Historic Landmarks. It looks promising.
