Heritage Commission
Administered by the Florence Township Heritage Preservation Commission
 
   
Meeting Time:
Third Tuesday of each month, 7:00 p.m. at the Florence Township Town Hall, Highway 61, Frontenac Station, Minnesota. Public is welcome and encouraged.
   
Mission:
The mission of the Florence Township Heritage Preservation Commission is to protect and preserve the natural beauty, cultural heritage, and historic features of Florence Township designated Historic Districts.
   

"Welcome to the Florence Township HPC web site. Use the links below to enrich your knowledge of our rich Frontenac heritage. Send new heritage information (include pictures) to a Commission member for consideration in our next publication. Remember, today's events are tomorrow's heritage.

If you reside in the Frontenac historical district and plan to modify your property, please use the "Design Guide" link below and the "Goodhue County Zoning Regulations" within "Links" to display the regulations governing property alterations. Then, print a copy of the "Design Review Application," complete it along with the requested drawings, and bring it to the next scheduled HPC meeting (see "Calendar"). Once reviewed by the HPC, your request will go to the Florence township Board and, if approved, to Goodhue County for issuance for a building permit.

If you reside in Florence Township and are interested in our heritage, please consider joining the commission by applying to the Florence Township Board at one of the their scheduled meetings. Thank you for your interest in maintaining and advancing our Frontenac heritage."
