Manhattan/Riley County Preservation Alliance 
(Kansas)

Our mission is to engage the community in the active preservation of its 
historic resources by

- promoting historic preservation in the community and surrounding area,
- enhancing economic development through historic preservation,
- and educating the community as to the cultural importance of historic preservation.

We have adopted the Charleston Principles as our guidelines.  The Preservation Alliance was formed in 1994, and one of the Preservation Alliance's early projects was the rehabilitation of the Union Pacific Railroad Depot located in Manhattan, Kansas.

National Historic Preservation Act Turns 50!

The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1966 and turned 50 years old in 2016.  One of the features of the NHPA was the creation of the National Register of Historic Places.  To learn more about the properties, historic districts, and archaeological sites in Riley County that are historically registered, click the button below.  In honor of the 50th anniversary, the M/RCPA also featured locally registered properties in the newsletter in 2016.
