National historic register mission
The National Register of Historic Places reviews the nominations for the preservation of American historic sites. These nominations are submitted by states, tribes and other federal agencies. The eligible properties are then listed in the national historic register.
Much of America's historic past is preserved in places like Fort Moultrie in Charleston, South Carolina.
The National Register Bulletin series and other publications offer guidance for the evaluation, documentation and listing of different types of historic places. The register helps qualified historic properties receive preservation benefits and incentives.
More than 96,000 properties have been listed in the national historic register at the end of 2020. Almost every county in the United States has at least one place listed.
