Clay County Historic Preservation Commission web site

The Clay County Historic Preservation Commission web site was redesigned in 2016. The web site features information about the Clay County Historic Preservation Commission and resources for historic preservation in Clay County, including local, state, and national publications. The Barn Survey of Clay County, a systematic survey of more than 370 barns, silos, granaries, and elevators built before 1960, is also available on the web site. The Clay County Historic Preservation Commission states the main goal of the barn survey "was to document a type of historic building that most represents the county’s rural agricultural heritage, as barns face growing threats from deferred maintenance, obsolescence, and demolition. Other goals were to make sure this project had long-lasting research value, visibility in the community, and was of benefit to the entire county." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to Clay County, South Dakota (project number SD-15-018), administered by the South Dakota State Historic Preservation Office (grant number P15AF00064) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Clay County, South Dakota is a Certified Local Government.
