National Register of Historic Places
Click a state below to get the NRHP lists for that state:
The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the federal government's official list of historic places that are deemed worthy of preservation, of which there are over 80,000. A good chunk of them already have photos, but that doesn't mean you can't take more of the same monuments - and many are still missing!
- Zoom in to an area to load markers.
Red marks are sites that do not already have a photo.
Green marks already have photos, but photos of these sites are just as welcome!
