How does
a property become a National Historic Landmark? Historic
places that meet certain criteria may be nominated to become National
Historic Landmarks. The National Park Service fosters the preparation
of individual nominations and oversees theme studies that identify
groups of potential landmarks. Completed nominations are reviewed
by the National
Park System Advisory Board, which makes recommendations for
designation to the Secretary of the Interior. Designation as a National
Historic Landmark automatically places a property in the
National Register
of Historic Places, if it is not already
so listed. |
