National Historic Landmarks Program

The National Historic Landmarks Program identifies and designates places of exceptional historical significance across the United States. Managed by the National Park Service, it recognizes sites that have made a lasting contribution to the nation’s history, culture, or architecture. These landmarks can include buildings, districts, sites, or objects that offer valuable insights into American heritage. Being designated as a National Historic Landmark helps preserve these important places, raising awareness and encouraging their protection for future generations. The program aims to honor and conserve America's most significant historic treasures.
