Historic areas administered by the National Park Service

National Historic Sites, National Historical Parks, National Memorials, and certain other areas listed in the National Park system are historic landmarks of national importance that are highly protected already, often before the inauguration of the NHL program in 1960, and are then often not also named NHLs per se. There are fifteen of these in the District of Columbia. The National Park Service lists these 15 together with the NHLs in the state,[9] The Carter G. Woodson Home National Historic Site and the White House are also NHLs and are listed above. The remaining 13 are:
