The Preserve
America Communities program recognizes and designates communities
that protect and celebrate their heritage, use their historic assets for
economic development and community revitalization, and encourage people
to experience and appreciate local historic resources through education
and heritage tourism programs. Preserve America is a White House
initiative in cooperation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation,
the U.S. Department of the Interior, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development. National Register of Historic Places partnership products
are an integral part of the Department of the Interior's leading role in
supporting the Preserve America initiative. Since the program's
inception, hundreds of localities have been designated as Preserve
America Communities.
Many Preserve America Communities are highlighted in the National
Register of Historic Places' Discover Our Shared Heritage travel
itinerary series. These travel itineraries are created in partnership with
local organizations to promote public awareness about history, historic
preservation and economic development through heritage tourism. The historic
places links below illuminate aspects of our Nation's varied history as
reflected in many Preserve America Communities nationwide. For
more information about the Preserve America initiative and other
designated communities, please visit the Preserve
America website.
