(KNZA)--Three area properties have been approved for inclusion in the Register of Historic Kansas Places.

During their February 1st meeting, the Kansas Historic Sites Board of Review approved the listing of the Bank of Powhattan building in Brown County, Oskaloosa United Methodist Church in Jefferson County and John Waggoner Home in Sabetha in the Historic Register.

The Register of Historic Kansas Places is the state's official list of historically significant properties.

The Board also approved to forward the properties to the National Park Service for the National Register of Historic Places.

If staff members concur with the board's findings, the properties will be included in the National Register.

The Kansas State Historical Society says listing in the registers qualifies the properties for certain financial incentives, including grant and tax credit programs. In addition, the Historical Society said the listing provides recognition of the historic importance of the property and assures protective review of projects that might adversely affect the character of the historic property.
