Historic Preservation Caucus

The Historic Preservation Caucus brings together members of the House of Representatives as a means to support and encourage the preservation and economic development of historic resources in their districts and States and as a matter of national policy. The Caucus serves as a clearinghouse for Representatives seeking information and sharing ideas about local, State, national and tribal issues and opportunities in historic preservation. The Caucus is co-chaired by Representatives Brad Miller (D-NC) and Mike Turner (R-OH).

Membership in the Caucus now stands at 103. If your Representative is not yet a member of the Caucus but would like to be, direct them to contact Anna Elizabeth Rose in Representative Miller's office at 202-225-3032 or Mike Wiehe in Representative Turner's office at 202-225-6465.
