From the Native American families who called this area home to Lewis and Clark, who spent significant time in central Montana, it's no secret that Great Falls and Cascade County are rich in history.

The department within the city of Great Falls dedicated to preserving our rich history is now accepting nominations for the 2025 historic preservation awards.

2025 Historic Preservation Awards

This award recognizes the efforts to protect and celebrate our area's rich history.

Community members are encouraged to nominate a person, project, or organization that has made an impact by restoring, preserving, or sharing the story of historic places across Cascade County.

Whether this project entails meticulous building restoration, innovative research, or even dedicated stewardship, all of these aspects are worthy of a nomination.

Nominations for the historic preservation award will be accepted until April 8th of 2025.
