MERIDIAN – The Meridian Historic Preservation Commission invites the public to participate in a series of community engagement activities to solicit input for the purpose of updating the city-wide Historic Preservation Plan.

The City of Meridian Historic Preservation Plan will guide future activities related to local heritage and address issues surrounding historic resources within the city.

Community members are encouraged to visit the project website to learn about the Historic Preservation Plan and complete a short online survey. The survey period will close on Tuesday, May 8, 2025.

To take the survey, please visit the Meridian Historic Preservation Plan website. The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete.

Additionally, the Meridian Historic Preservation Commission invites the public to join a community-based historic Walking Tour and Public Open House on Saturday, April 19.

The Walking Tour will take place from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. starting at the City Hall (33 E. Broadway Ave., Meridian, ID 83642) and ending at Hidden Gems/Tolleth House (134 E. State Ave., Meridian, ID 83642).

The Public Open House will take Place at Hidden Gems/Tolleth House following the Walking Tour, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
