Homeowner Assistance for National Historic Properties

Privately Owned Historic Landmarks

The National Historic Landmarks program was established in 1935 by the U.S. Department of Interior's National Park Service (NPS) so that our nation's most significant properties might be purchased and included in the National Park System. Over the years, it became apparent that having the Federal government buy and maintain all of these properties would be very costly and impractical. So, although some Landmarks are included in the Park System, the vast majority are privately owned.

Today, the well-being of National Historic Landmarks depends on many factors: how changes in property use are handled, what effects acts of nature have, how developers approach the historical value of landmarks, and whether an owner has the commitment and financial ability to maintain and preserve the property. The National Park Service encourages and supports the preservation and restoration of our National Historic Landmark properties.

The NHL Initiative:

  • Monitors the status of NHLs and reports their condition to Congress each year
  • Works to improve networking and assistance to NHL owners
  • Prepares information to emphasize the importance of NHLs to all Americans

The Initiative also assists NHL owners by providing published information about maintaining, repairing, and restoring historic buildings, structures, and sites, as well as offering other educational and training activities. NHL owners with access to the Internet can find descriptions of National Park Service programs, including available publications and information on the tax credit for rehabilitation of historic buildings at:
