List of National Historic Landmarks in Indiana
Encyclopedia
The National Historic Landmarks in Indiana represent Indiana's history
from the Native American era to its early European settlers and motor racing. There are 37 National Historic Landmark
s (NHLs) in the state, which are located in 22 of its 92 counties. They illustrate the state's industrial and architectural heritage, as well as battles, circuses, education, and several other topics. One of the NHLs in the state has military significance, fourteen are significant examples of different architectural style
s, nine are associated with significant historical figures, and one is an archaeological site
. One NHL property, a ship that was formerly located in Indiana, was later moved to another state.
The National Historic Landmark Program is administered by the National Park Service
, a branch of the Department of the Interior
. The National Park Service determines which properties meet NHL criteria and makes nomination recommendations after an owner notification process. The Secretary of the Interior
reviews nominations and, based on a set of predetermined criteria, makes a decision on NHL designation or a determination of eligibility for designation. Both public and privately owned properties can be designated as NHLs. This designation provides indirect, partial protection of the historic integrity of the properties via tax incentives, grants, monitoring of threats, and other means. Owners may object to the nomination of the property as a NHL. When this is the case the Secretary of the Interior can only designate a site as eligible for designation.
All NHLs are also included on the National Register of Historic Places
(NRHP), a list of historic properties that the National Park Service deems to be worthy of preservation. The primary difference between a NHL and a NRHP listing is that the NHLs are determined to have national significance, while other NRHP properties are deemed significant at the local or state level. The NHLs in Indiana comprise approximately 2% of the 1,656 properties and districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Indiana as of December 2009. The 37 NHLs are among the most important nationally recognized historic sites in the state; the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park
is one other site that has high designation by the Federal government.
Marion County
