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.
