What is the National Register of Historic Places?

The National Register of Historic Places is like a special club for important historical buildings, sites, and objects in the United States. It's managed by the National Park Service, which is part of the U.S. government. When a place is added to this list, it means it's considered very important to the history of our country, state, or local area.

Why are These Places Special?

Being on the National Register helps protect these historic spots. It encourages people to preserve them so future generations can learn from them. These places often tell amazing stories about how people lived long ago, what events happened, and how communities grew.

In Hood County, there is one historic district and three individual properties on this list. A "district" means a whole area with many historic buildings, not just one. Some of these places are also recognized by the Texas Historical Commission as "State Antiquities Landmarks" or "Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks."
