Board of Directors

Visionary Leadership

Our story starts in the late 1990’s, when a few energetic volunteers from the greater Blakesburg community undertook a “renew and restore” mission for some of Blakesburg’s last remaining historic structures. The volunteers named themselves the Blakesburg Historical Preservation Society and elected officers. After years of informality and slow progress, BHPS volunteers elected to formally organize themselves as a non-profit corporation under Iowa law. Once incorporated, BHPS began the process of becoming a charitable non-profit organization. Members of the 2012 Charter are denoted with an (*) by their name.

We would like to thank all board members, past, present, and future, for their dedication and service to our organization. Without you, our success would not be possible. Thank you!
