The National Register of Historic Places is the Nation's official list of properties worthy of preservation. Authorized under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Register is part of a national program to coordinate and support efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect our historic and archeological resources. Properties listed in the National Register are significant to American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture in a specific locale, state, and/or the country. Although the National Register is a program of the National Park Service, it is administered at the state level by each respective state. In Ohio, the Ohio Historic Preservation Office administers the National Register program.

Additional information about the National Register of Historic Places and listed resources can be obtained by contacting the Ohio Historic Preservation Office at www.ohiohistory.org/resource/histpres or the National Park Service at www.cr.nps.gov/nr.

An independent website at www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com also provides brief descriptions of listed resources in each state and county in the nation.
