Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt on March 1 announced the designation of 18 sites in 16 states as National Historic Landmarks. The designated sites from Florida to California were recommended by the National Park System Advisory Board for their diverse history and because they contain aspects of America's national heritage. They are listed below.
"These historic properties are the storytellers of our rich American history," Babbitt said. "Our diverse national heritage is locked in the very walls and grounds of these historic structures and will be preserved for future generations to learn from and enjoy."
National Historic Landmarks are identified by theme and special studies are prepared or overseen by National Park Service historians and archeologists. Landmark designation is the federal government's official recognition of the national importance of historic properties.

The National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places and the City of Cumberland, Maryland, proudly invite you to explore the new online travel itinerary, All Aboard For Cumberland. This travel itinerary promoting heritage tourism focuses on the sites that tell the stories of Cumberland's economic and residential growth, social community, and civic development. A portion of the Cumberland near the terminus of the C@O Canal has been recognized as the State of Maryland's first Certified Heritage Area. An online city map, photographs, site descriptions and an essay help visitors discover more about such areas as the Downtown Cumberland Historic District, the Washington Street Historic District and the Allegany County Courthouse. Cumberland is the fourth of more than 30 communities and regions working directly with the National Register of Historic Places to create travel itineraries. This and other travel itineraries can be found on our web site: National Register of Historic Places Home
