NATIONAL
HISTORIC LANDMARKS
In COLORADO
National Historic Landmarks are properties recognized by the Secretary
of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in
illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. Today,
fewer than 2,500 historic places bear this distinction. These properties
are nationally significant, in contrast to National Register of Historic
Places listings which generally recognize properties of local or state
significance. All National Historic Landmarks are automatically placed in
the National Register of Historic Places. For more information, visit
