National Register of Historic Places
The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation administered by the National Park Service, which is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Properties listed in the Register include districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture. All listings are evaluated and documented according to uniform, national standards. More Information
In Maine, the National Register is coordinated through the Maine Historic Preservation Commission, including applications for new listings. More Information
