Letter from the Historic Preservation Division, dated May 29, 1980, with regards to consideration to nominate the statue of The End of the Trail to the national Register of Historic Places. HISTORIC PRESERVATION DIVISION, May 29, 1980 The Honorable David VerHage Mayor, City of Waupun 201 East Main Street Waupun, Wisconsin 53963 Dear Mayor VerHage: Your property, identified on the attached notice form, will be considered by the Wisconsin Historic Preservation Review Board for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register is the federal government's official list of historic buildings and other cultural resources worthy of preservation. Enclosed is a copy of the criteria under which properties are evaluated. Listing in the National Register makes private property owners eligible to be considered for federal grants-in-aid for historic preservation and provides limited protection through comment by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation on the effect of federally financed, assisted, or licensed undertakings on historic properties. If the property is depreciable and is listed in the National Register, there are also certain provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1976 that may apply. Section 2124 of the Tax Reform Act of 1976 encourages preservation of historic depreciable structures by allowing favorable tax treatments for rehabilitations. In addition, it discourages destruction of historic buildings by eliminating certain otherwise available federal tax benefits both for demolition of historic structures and for new construction on the site of demolished historic buildings. If the property contains coal resources and is listed in the National Register, certain provisions of the Surface Mining and Control Act of 1977 make it less likely that surface mining of the coal will be permitted by the state or federal government. If you wish to comment on whether the property should be nominated to the National Register, send your comments within 30 days of the date of this letter to the Historic Preservation Division, State Historical Society of Wisconsin, 816 State Street, Madison, WI 53706. You may also appear at the Review Board meeting during which this nomination will be considered. The time, date, and place of the board meeting is listed on the enclosed sheet. If you have questions about the nomination procedures or the National Register program, please call Barbara Wyatt at (608) 262-8904. A copy of the nomination is on file in our office and will be made available to you upon request. Sincerely, Richard A.
