The National Historic Landmarks Program is a federal designation program. 

Designation as a National Historic Landmark:

• Preserves the stories of nationally important historic events, places, and people for all Americans.
• Helps to protect the historic character of the property from any federal action.
• Might facilitate eligibility for grants, tax credits, and other opportunities to maintain its historic character.

Before designation can occur, a property must be nominated. Follow the links to the right of this page to explore our Apply pages and learn about the nomination process before beginning a nomination.
