The national sites span thirteen states.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland designated 16 new historic landmarks and two national landmarks this month, adding historic locations to the over 3,200 landmarks recognized for their national importance. The 18 new locations span 13 states and include courthouses, residences, science facilities, and parklands that are important to the country’s history.
“The new National Historic and Natural Landmarks designated today further the Interior Department’s vision for inclusive and collaborative conservation,” stated Secretary Deb Haaland. “Supporting voluntary and locally led stewardship is key to nationwide efforts to conserve and connect the lands upon which we all depend.”
