National Historic Landmarks (NHLs) are nationally significant historic places that have exceptional abilities to illustrate and interpret American cultural heritage. The National Historic Landmarks Program is responsible for helping to preserve and protect the over 2,600 NHLs in the United States.

As such, the National Historic Landmarks Program has two primary functions, shared between its regional and national offices:

  • Guide the nomination process for new Landmarks

  • Provide technical assistance to existing Landmarks.
