(KNZA)-- Several area properties have been nominated for inclusion in both the National and State Registers of Historic Places.

According to the Kansas State Historical Society, the properties include:

Bank of Powhattan, in Brown County

Methodist Episcopal Church, in Oskaloosa, in Jefferson County

John Waggoner Home, in Sabetha, in Nemaha County.

The Kansas Historic Sites Board of Review will consider the nominations when they meet on February 1st.

The Kansas State Historical Society says listing in the registers qualifies the property 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.
