Introduction

This list of historic preservation organizations in Ohio has been compiled from a variety of sources, including those provided by the Local History and the Ohio Historic Preservation Offices of the Ohio Historical Society, Heritage Ohio and Preservation Ohio (both statewide non-profit organizations). The author added information based on knowledge of the state and previous work with local and regional organizations. While every attempt was made to make the list comprehensive, it is likely that there are some omissions and the list should be updated periodically.
