Rapid City, SD, October 25, 2026 —
South Dakota’s State Historic Preservation Office is seeking public input on historic sites across the state through November 6. The office is asking residents to suggest locations for potential historical surveys, propose nominations to the National Register of Historic Places and identify sites they believe may be at risk.
The request covers the state, with particular attention to western South Dakota and the Black Hills region. The feedback is intended to help shape the state’s historic preservation priorities and annual work plan.
The announcement does not specify the year associated with the November 6 deadline, how residents should submit suggestions, or what information should be included with a submission. It also does not identify particular sites already under consideration or explain how suggestions will be assessed.
The office’s request includes several kinds of input: possible subjects for historical surveys, potential National Register nominations and locations considered at risk. The announcement does not state that a suggestion will lead to a survey or nomination. It describes public feedback as a way to inform planning.
Further details about the submission process, including any contact information or criteria, were not provided in the information available. The office’s annual work plan and the specific priorities that emerge from the feedback were also not described.
