National Register of Historic Places listings in Connecticut facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The National Register of Historic Places is a special list of buildings, sites, and objects that are important to American history. It's like a hall of fame for historic places! When a place is on this list, it means it's recognized for its historical, architectural, or archaeological importance.

Connecticut has many places on this list, with over 1,500 historic sites. Every one of Connecticut's eight counties has places listed on the National Register. Some of these sites are even part of the route taken by French General Rochambeau's army during the American Revolutionary War in 1781 and 1782.
