National Landmarks, America's Treasures: The National Park Foundation's Complete Guide to National Historic Landmarks (Preservation Press)
Product Description: This book is the only complete national guide to America's 2,300 National Historic Landmarks--buildings, sites, districts, structures, and objects that have been determined by the Secretary of the Interior to be nationally significant in American history and culture. Entries range from the Brooklyn Bridge, Lincoln's boyhood home, and other familiar sites, to less familiar examples. Entries contain contact details and visitors' information, plus fascinating insights on each landmark's historical significance, physical features, and style.
Easy access to the National Historic Landmarks Organized by state and then by county, this book offers an easy and quick way to find out about the properties that have been defined as our national landmarks. The pithy descriptions of each property are clever, articulate, and avoid formula writing, keeping the reader moving from one to another of the various entries. The photographs and occasional drawings are large and of high quality, providing a valuable complement to the text. In addition to the index by property name, there is a general index by subject matter, making it easy to find properties related by subject, regardless of location.
