Places to photograph[edit]
National Register of Historic Places[edit]
The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the federal government's official list of historic places that are deemed worthy of preservation.
Some 2,500 of the 90,000 NRHP sites are also recognized as National Historic Landmarks (NHL), which have outstanding historical significance.
State designated sites[edit]
The Florida Division of Historical Resources manages the Florida Historical Marker Program, which identifies historic sites including homes, churches, schools, battlefields, and archaeological sites.
