Massachusetts Historic Preservation The United States of America is rich in history, and the protection of this culture lies in the hands of the individual states which make up the nation. Under section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, every state must have a State Historic Preservation Officer or a tribal counterpart to deal with archaeological and architectural findings of historic value. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is one of America’s greatest historical areas and many of its sites are extremely well known—Plymouth Rock, Salem and the Boston harbor are just a few famous places. As a result of its long history and many historic districts, the state has a strong historic preservation program which encompasses Native American sites as well. The SHPO for Massachusetts also happens to be the executive director of the Massachusetts Historical Commission, which oversees all historic preservation activities and ensures that the appropriate legislation is being followed.
