Description

The National Register of Historic Places, the Federal government’s official list of historic places worthy of preservation, is 50 years old. Join Patrick Andrus, Historian, National Register of Historic Places, National Park Service to learn more about the types of properties listed in the National Register, the evaluation process, and the effects of listing.
