National Historic Landmark Program

The National Historic Landmark Program is a U.S. initiative that identifies and recognizes places of exceptional historical significance. These landmarks, which can include buildings, sites, or districts, are chosen for their importance to American history, culture, or architecture. Administered by the National Park Service, the program helps protect these sites through preservation efforts. Being designated as a National Historic Landmark can raise public awareness and increase tourism, ensuring that important stories and heritage are preserved for future generations.
