Who We Are

Midwest_1

Midwest Preservation Group, LLC is a disabled veteran-owned company that works with various entities to protect historical resources.

We have a simple philosophy: We can learn from and preserve the past while moving forward, that our past informs our future.

To that end, our goal is to preserve history in all forms–buildings, lands, newspapers audio records, and more–so future generations can learn about and appreciate and learn from the past.

If you have a property that you think could benefit from our assistance, EMAIL US.

Current Projects

South Elevation Facing North
The Gucker Coal Company Office is the last extant remnant of the coal industry in Marceline, Missouri. For decades, coal was mined in and around Marceline, shipped not only locally but across the nation. We recently were able to get the State of Missouri to approve it as eligible for the National Register and we’ve now partnered with the owner to get it on the Register.
