The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation’s historic places worthy of preservation. Being listed on the National Register is primarily honorific, and for private property owners, generally does not impose restrictions on how they may use their property when utilizing their own funds. Being listed (or eligible for listing) has greater implications for properties which may be affected by activities which are federally funded or licensed. Thus, National Register listings can be helpful to property owners seeking to protect their properties from proposed actions that could have a negative impact such as highway or utility expansion. Register listing is also a useful publicity/education tool to heighten awareness of a forgotten or threatened resource.

During more than three decades we have successfully completed over 70 National Register nominations for properties throughout New England. The completed nominations include approximately forty individual properties and over 2,000 resources in more than thirty historic districts.

National Register of Historic Places Plaque

The National Register of Historic Places also includes a special category of properties called National Historic Landmarks (NHLs). These properties, of which there are less than 2,500 nationwide, merit listing because of their exceptional importance to the nation as a whole. Most NHL nominations are prepared by National Park Service staff.
In 1993 Lisa Mausolf prepared the National Historic Landmark documentation for Canterbury Shaker Village.
