List of National Historic Landmarks in New York facts for kids
This article lists special historic places in New York State that the U.S. government has recognized. These places are called National Historic Landmarks (NHLs). The National Park Service chooses these landmarks because they are very important to the history of the United States.
New York State has 276 NHLs, which is more than any other state! This is over 10% of all the NHLs in the whole country. The National Park Service also lists 20 other historic sites that are super important, and 7 of these are also NHLs. This list includes all of them.
About half of New York's NHLs (139) are in upstate New York. Another 13 are on Long Island, and 116 are in New York City. Some counties have many NHLs, like Manhattan (86), Westchester County (18), and Erie County (10). The first NHLs in New York were chosen on October 9, 1960. The newest one was added on January 13, 2021. The NHLs outside New York City are listed below. The ones in New York City are in a separate article.
Seven of these NHL sites are also part of the National Park System in New York. The other 13 National Park Service areas are also historic but don't need NHL status because the government already protects them. This article also lists three places that used to be NHLs in New York but are no longer.

What Makes a Place a National Historic Landmark?
Slabsides was a nature retreat for writer John Burroughs.
New York's National Historic Landmarks include many different types of places. There are 10 very old archeological sites from long ago. You can also find 12 old Dutch farmhouses and historic neighborhoods. Plus, there are 21 churches or places of worship that are important for their history or architecture.
Many NHLs (26) are related to military history. These include 13 old forts (some still standing, some ruins), 5 battlegrounds, and 7 military buildings. Most of these military sites are from the French and Indian War or the American Revolutionary War. Only one is from the American Civil War.
There are also 9 NHL ships! These include a warship and a tugboat from World War II, a warship from the Vietnam War, and several sailing boats and fireboats. You'll also find 24 grand mansions and 4 sites famous for their beautiful gardens. Many thousands of buildings are part of New York's 9 National Historic Landmark Districts.
Many NHLs are linked to smart people and their inventions. There are 22 sites connected to intellectual achievements. This includes 9 university buildings and 10 places linked to inventors or scientists. Four are engineering marvels, like two bridges that were once the longest of their kind.
New York's business history is also recognized. There are 11 historic skyscrapers, with 5 that were once the tallest in the world. Seven buildings are important for business history, like stock exchanges. There are also 2 old bank buildings, 5 industrial factories, and 3 water-based engineering projects. Some buildings are even famous for being architecturally unique!
Many NHLs show important political and social changes. Four are former mental health hospitals, showing New York's early work in mental health care. There are 14 sites linked to suffragettes (women who fought for voting rights) and other women leaders. Five sites are connected to the Underground Railroad or people who fought to end slavery. Six sites are important for African-American leaders, and three are about labor rights. Four sites are linked to other social movements.
You can also find 21 homes of other national leaders and 6 important government buildings. For community and arts, there are 2 utopian communities, the Adirondack Park and 4 of its "Great Camps," and 5 other retreat places. At least 9 artist homes or studios are landmarks, along with 9 homes of writers and composers. There are 4 club buildings (two are historical societies) and 8 entertainment places. Sixteen other sites are unique and hard to put into a category.
Many famous architects designed buildings that became NHLs in New York. These include Alexander Jackson Davis, Andrew Jackson Downing, William West Durant, and others. The firm McKim, Mead, and White designed at least six NHL buildings. Their work on Pennsylvania Station in 1963, which was going to be torn down, actually started a big movement to save historic buildings in New York City. This led to the creation of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1965.
National Historic Landmarks in Upstate New York and Long Island
New York State, outside of New York City, has 155 of these special landmarks. Some of these are also State Historic Sites (SHS) or National Park System areas. These are marked in the list.

National Historic Landmarks in New York City
New York City has 114 National Historic Landmarks all by itself. The first ones were chosen on October 9, 1960, and the most recent on November 2, 2016. Many of these New York City NHLs are also protected by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. You can find more details in the List of New York City Designated Landmarks.
Historic Places in the National Park System
The National Park System includes many important historic places like National Historic Sites and National Historical Parks. These places are already well-protected by the government. Because they are already protected, they usually don't need to be named National Historic Landmarks too.
For a long time, the National Park Service didn't give NHL status to sites already in the National Park System. If an NHL site became part of the National Park System, it would lose its NHL status. For example, the William Floyd House and Ellis Island were considered for NHL status but weren't designated because they were already protected.
It wasn't until 1977 that new rules allowed a National Historic Landmark to keep its status even if it was in a national park, as long as its main importance wasn't just about the park's purpose. The Jacob Riis House in Queens lost its NHL status in 1973.
The National Park Service lists 18 historic sites within national park units in New York State. There are also two "affiliated areas" that get support from the National Park Service but aren't directly managed by it. Seven of these 20 sites were named National Historic Landmarks, sometimes before they got the higher park protection. They still have their NHL status. Four of these are listed above, and three are in the New York City list. The other 13 historic sites in the National Park System are listed below:
