Historic Preservation

Boonville is steeped in history, with over 400 sites and buildings listed on the National Historic Register and one local historic district.

For information about state historic preservation tax credits, visit the Missouri State Historic Preservation Office- they can provide you with forms and information. The National Historic Register is also available online. The National Park Service is currently digitizing the National Register, so complete information may not be available. Additionally, the Friends of Historic Boonville holds archival records on historic properties and sites in the area.

Available in the download center is a historic home packet for realtors and new homeowners, with information on state tax credits, zoning maps, frequently asked questions about National and local historic registers, and a brief architectural guide.

If you are interested in preserving or rehabilitating your historic structure, the Boonville Historic Preservation Advisory Commission will gladly assist you with information and design guidelines. Contact Kate Fjell at City Hall for assistance.
