Statement of Work

The project goal is to complete a Historic Resource Study (HRS) for Valles Caldera National Preserve. The information created by the HRS will provide baseline documentation to identify and analyze historic properties that may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Through enhancing and expanding the park’s research program, the park will be able to engage audiences with new stories about the park’s history. This project will create stronger ties with local, state, and tribal governments.
