Description

Press release from the City of Golden Valley: March 3, 2021 The Golden Valley Historical Society (GVHS) recently completed a Historical Context Study that evaluates the City's historic resources from 1852 through 1975. It is now one of the most comprehensive research documents ever produced on the history of Golden Valley, according to GVHS. The 102-page study includes recommendations for how to guide preservation efforts, interpret historic sites, and increase awareness of local history. The wide-ranging themes of the study include early settlement, agriculture and farming, suburban development, and much more. One key recommendation of the study is to establish a City Heritage Preservation Commission to assist in incorporating preservation planning into City development and redevelopment processes, which is something the Golden Valley City Council will be exploring in 2021.
