Administered by the National Park Service and State Historic Preservation Offices, the National Register is the nation’s official list of historic and archaeological resources deemed worthy of preservation. Kentucky has the fifth highest number of National Register listings in the nation, with more than 3,400 listings of districts, sites and structures encompassing more than 42,000 historic features.
The Kentucky Historic Preservation Review Board comprises members appointed by the Governor, whose primary responsibility is to review and approve nominations to the National Register. The majority of the membership is made up of professionals in the fields of history, archaeology, architectural history, architecture and historic preservation.
Nominations approved for listing by the Review Board are forwarded for final consideration to the National Park Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior, which issues a final determination of listing within 45 days. National Register listing can be applied to buildings, objects, structures, districts and archaeological sites, and proposed sites must be significant in architecture, engineering, American history or culture, or possess a special role in the development of our country. The status does not affect property ownership rights and does provide owners a measure of protection against adverse impacts from federally funded projects. Owners of National Register properties may qualify for federal or state tax credits for certified rehabilitation of these properties or by making a charitable contribution of preservation easements.
For further information about the National Register of Historic Places and the nomination process, please visit the Kentucky Heritage Council website or contact Marty Perry, KHC National Register Program Coordinator, at 502-892-3609 or Marty.Perry@ky.gov.
