Recognize important places
The National Register of Historic Places is the federal government's official list of sites and structures important to American history on the local, state, or national level. A site listed on the National Register is considered worthy of preservation by the United States government.
​
The National Register program uses three components to decide whether a property is eligible for listing: historic significance, historic integrity, and historic context. Additionally, a property must meet at least one of the four National Register Criteria, defined as follows by the National Park Service:
​
-
Criterion A: Properties that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history
-
Criterion B: Properties that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past
-
Criterion C: Properties that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction
-
Criterion D: Properties that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history
