What is the National Register?
The National Register of Historic Places is like a special club for important historical sites across the United States. It's the official list of places that are worth saving because of their history. These can be single buildings, like an old house or a lighthouse. They can also be larger areas, called "historic districts," which might include many old homes or a whole historic downtown.
Being on this list helps protect these places. It also makes people more aware of their importance. It's a way to celebrate and remember the stories of the past.
